The Russian human rights community represented by the Commissioner for Human Rights Vladimir Lukin advocated the creation of an international tribunal for "responsible for mass killings in the conflict zone." The initiative, on the one hand, is good, because Saakashvili and his team, who untied the bloody war, must be judged and they must answer for the deed. And on the other hand - useless. And useless because the international community will not be able to objectively judge those whose guilt has already been proven. As an example, one can cite the notorious Hague tribunal, where innocent Serbs are condemned to decades, and bloody executioners, such as Ramush Haradine, are fully justified and released.
Saakashvili, I repeat, just need to be judged. But this should not be done by the international tribunal (where Saakashvili can easily justify and release), but a Russian or, say, the united tribunal of the former countries of the Soviet Union, where representatives of South Ossetia and Abkhazia must be located. Then it will really be possible to expect that the military criminal Mikhail Saakashvili will be a decent sentence for the genocide of the Ossetian people and crimes against humanity unleashed by him.
And yet. The difficult situation that has developed today in South Ossetia should be exclusively internal affairs of our country, since most residents of South Ossetia have Russian citizenship.
Unfortunately, the world community cannot understand this yet. This partly develops due to the fact that public opinion is formed by Western media on the order of the US State Department. And they are discredited by Russia only to the hands.
So, for example, the London " The Times" initially, on the eight of August, from its pages called the territory of South Ossetia the territory of Georgia, and its people - separatists. " Today, news of fierce hostilities in the capital of the separatist region South Ossetia came early in the morning after the Georgian forces went on the offensive on the rebels supported by Russia."
Such a formulation of the question will naturally cause sympathy for Georgia, and not to the south Ossetia oppressed by Georgians.
"Independent" from its pages writes that it is the West that supports the desire of the President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili (a supporter of the country's exit from Russia and its entry into NATO) to reintegen the breakdown areas - South Ossetia and Abkhazia, returning them to the bosom of Georgia.
And as a certificate in South Ossetia, it gives information that this is a tiny area with a population of about fifty thousand people, separated from Georgia after the collapse of the USSR. Most of it is under the control of the separatist authorities, but several villages are controlled by the Central Government of Georgia, based in Tbilisi.
From the pages of "The New York Times" there is also information that South Ossetia is a conflict region where separatism flourishes, and the official Tbilisi was forced to answer the introduction of troops in order to protect himself from Ossetian aggression. " According to Georgia, its troops noticeably advanced into the territory of the rebellious South Ossetia. According to the authorities, the reason for this was provocation on the border - including mortar shelling. Georgia claims that its soldiers are not in order to start a full -scale seizure of the enclave, but take protective measures to stop the shelling from the territory of South Ossetia."
And the Frankfurter Rundschau generally assured its readers that Georgia, in response to shelling by the Ossetian separatists, sat from Tskhinvali "took the city on the fly." " Instead of negotiations in the Caucasus, new battles began. In the evening of Wednesday, South Ossetia has been conducting artillery shelling of Georgian villages and positions, Georgians take South Ossetian villages to the fly. Disputes about which side of which the first shot sounded is continuing."
And so almost everywhere.
Moreover, Saakashvili himself performs almost every fifteen minutes through the central western channels with official appeals, in which he asks the West to provide him and his people from aggression from Russia who had interfered in the conflict. Persu reason is added by staged personnel shot by Georgian television about alleged attacks on peaceful Georgian villages by Ossetian "criminals", and a small list of victims from the Georgian side. In general, lies and provocation, but, unfortunately, effectively acting on the puppet of the Marionate Western Society, which, by even greater regret, completely lack its own opinion.
In fact, meanwhile, according to Russian peacekeepers in the conflict zone, Georgian troops continue to besiege Tskhinvali. Self -propelled artillery installations, Grad volley systems work, the sounds of working aircraft are heard. The number of those killed by the civilian population of South Ossetia is going on thousands, including women, children and old people. Conflicts with refugees are shot. The hospital was destroyed in Tskhinvali. Georgian snipers finish the wounded civilians. And so on and the like.
And about this at the moment, as, in my opinion, not a single Western newspaper known to me about the most important thing. That is why the world community is categorically impossible to judge war criminals. Saakashvili should not appear in any thoroughly rotten Hague, but in Russia, in front of an honest and fair tribunal. And then the victory will be behind us. One hundred percent.
