Danger of Pro-Fascist and Nationalist Policies in Georgia
Declaration of the Georgian Peace Committee
Once more Georgia was lunched into a situation of chaos and bloodshed. A new fratricidal war exploded with renewed strength on Georgian soil.
To our great disappointment, the warnings of the Georgian Peace Committee and progressive personalities of Georgia on the pernicious character of the militarization of the country and of the real danger of a pro-fascist and nationalist policy had no effect on the government.
The authorities of Georgia once again organized a bloody war, feeling the promised support of some Western countries and of regional and international organizations. It will take decades to cleanse the shame poured by our current holders of power over the Georgian people.
The Georgian Army – armed and trained by US instructors as well as Israel instructors, and using US armaments - subjected the city of Tskhinvali to a barbaric destruction. These bombings killed Ossetian civilians, our brothers and sisters, children, women and elderly people. Over 2,000 inhabitants of Tskhinvali and its surrounding areas perished.
Hundreds civilians of Georgia nationality also died, both in the conflict zone as well as in the entire territory of Georgia.
The Georgian Peace Committee expresses its deep condolences to the relatives and friends of those who have perished.
The entire responsibility for this fratricidal war, for thousands of children, women and elderly people, for the inhabitants of South Ossetia and of Georgia falls exclusively on the current President of Georgia, on the Parliament and on the Government of Georgia.
The irresponsibility and the adventurism of this Saakashvili regime have no limits. This President of Georgia and his team, undoubtedly are criminals and must be held responsible and punished.
The Georgian Peace Committee, together with all progressive parties and social movements of Georgia, will struggle to assure that the organizers of this monstrous genocide have a severe and legitimate punishment.
The Georgian Peace Committee declares and asks the broad public opinion not to identify the present Georgian leadership with the people of Georgia, with the Georgian nation, and appeals to all to support the Georgian people in their struggles against this criminal regime of Saakashvili.
We appeal to all political forces of Georgia, the social movements and the people of Georgia to unite in order to free the country from the Russian-phobic and pro-fascist anti popular regime of Saakashvili!
