Abkhazia in the Georgian-Russian war 2008

[SiD]

Hi sid YOu know that NOONE IN THE WORLD consider Russian peackekippers as reallity. They were hwlping Osethian separatist and its fact for all.

What about geogians in Russia. I have not answer. But as I know you have teribble shortage of work force( Maybe I am not right) and I will try to look for sources, but soon chiniese will fill your country. So its your choice ( Sorry your govermants )emigration police, which is bytheway VERY corupted. As every civilaized country you must have quotas and you must improve yor emigration laws. BUt first of all you must fight with cotuption. It will soon improve situation with emigrants. So they will move to Ukraine or return to country.
About Army- dont worry. For defence we will have everything we need. Of course if wild agressor-Russia will not decide to attack again soon.( RMEMBER GAMSs MAP of Jirinivski?)

Wow you need to check out summit of SHOS they appreciated role of Russia as peacekeeper in this conflict. Parhaps you need to count how many people lives in countrys of SHOS? China alone has more people than all your supporters combined so do not speak nonsense.

Georgians are in Russia and talk is over you can live your speculations to yourself. If they work here its thier choice they are not forced to stay, and not forced to leave. It is just reality. If we were that bad as you say they would not be here or already been trown out.

I do not worry about your defense i just point you that modern defense is not cheap so government must find money somewere.

Sid here are results of summit I check as you advice mr:from FT
Russia fails to secure regional backing

By Stefan Wagstyl in London, Charles Clover in Moscow and Geoff Dyer in Beijing

Dmitry Medvedev, Russian president, failed on Thursday to win support from China or the former Soviet republics of central Asia in his deepening dispute with the west over military action in Georgia.

At a central Asian summit in Tajikistan, Mr Medvedev was unable to persuade Hu Jintao, the Chinese president, or other regional leaders to give explicit backing to Russia’s intervention or its decision to recognise the independence of the two breakaway regions, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

While the leaders refrained from criticising Russia, their joint statement gave the Kremlin only modest comfort. “[We] express grave concern in connection with the recent tensions around the South Ossetian issue and urge the sides to solve existing problems peacefully, through dialogue, and to make efforts facilitating reconciliation and talks,” said a final statement from the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation, which groups Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The leaders welcomed the French-brokered ceasefire deal that ended the fighting between Russia and Georgia and acknowledged Russia’s role in the Caucasus, saying they supported “Russia’s active role in contributing to peace and co-operation in the region”.

Before the summit China had expressed its “concern” about “the latest changes in South Ossetia and Abkhazia”, an unusual move for Beijing which generally refrains from negative comment about Russia. Chinese officials declined to comment on Thursday but western diplomats in Beijing said the summit statement fitted closely with Chinese views. China had avoided any anti-western flourishes and – an absolute priority – any support for separatism.

China, with restless ethnic minorities in Tibet and Xinjiang province, is concerned about precedents that might be set in Georgia, as are the central Asian states.

Russian officials put a brave face on the summit.

Ivan Melnikov, deputy chairman of Russia’s Communist party, claimed Russia had received great support and he was “convinced that the endorsement of the declaration has put a stop to all this speculation about the international isolation of Russia”.

But Yevgeny Volk, an analyst in Moscow for the Heritage Foundation, a US think- tank, said the result of the summit illustrated the opposite. “The statement was very equivocal,” he said. “This shows Russia’s isolation.” Robert Wood of the US state department said: “Russia, I think you are seeing, is becoming more and more isolated: they are isolating themselves. You haven’t seen countries come forth and recognise these two parts of Georgia’s territory”.

● Belarus, perhaps Russia’s closest ally in the former Soviet Union, said on Thursday Moscow had “no choice” about recognising South Ossetia and Abkhazia but it declined to follow suit.


If you dont like emigrants you MUST have good emigration law.
We will find money for defence - dont worry.

I will not discusse with you this words:"do not speak nonsense."

"live your speculations to yourself.".

And? you can see that they appreciete our peacekeeping efforts. that means our peacekeepers are peacekeepers for them as i told.
Recognition is whole other thing becouse of reasons you can see in your own reply.

As i said in official document countrys of SHOS are apreaciating Russias role as peacekeeper in the region but are concerned with our recognition of s Osetia and Abkchazia. Speculations about brave face or something are just speculations. So you see that more than billion people are recognizing Russian role as peacekeeper.

I found "oint Communique of meeting of SCO Heads of State Council (2008)"
But they even don put the recognition issue there. Easter people are realy very wise!

The heads of state underlined the importance of the Treaty on Long-term Good-neighbourly Relations, Friendship and Cooperation signed in August 2007 in Bishkek in terms of strengthening interaction in the framework of the Organisation in joint counteraction against new challenges and threats, cementing international peace and security, maintaining global and regional stability.
Practical implementation of the Treaty will also promote the improvement of socioeconomic conditions and deepening of integration processes in the SCO space.
The heads of state noted a gradual increase in the activity of the SCO Regional Antiterrorist Structure in the field of fighting new challenges and threats as an effective mechanism of coordination of interaction among the competent agencies of the SCO member states and its information and analytical support.

The joint drills of the member states including the Peace Mission 2007 counterterrorism exercise staged in Chelyabinsk Region of the Russian Federation contributed to the enhancement of counterterrorism capabilities. The practice of conducting joint drills will be continued. The parties will consider at an early date a possibility of holding the first meeting of ministers of internal affairs and public security at the beginning of 2009.
The heads of state reiterated their concern over threats related to the possibility of using modern information and telecommunication technologies for purposes incompatible with the tasks of ensuring international stability and security.

In reallity I dont care about SCO and there commitmrnt at all, but its example how you Russians see FACTS - you see them as your presidents want, but not as they are.

So mater is much serios than it was wrighten in FT. They even does not mentin in documents the issue your govermant SPECULATES WITH.

[Eka]

There must be thier position somewhere. Do you think everyone just ignored problem? i think not.

Seriosly without jokes I am really surprised too.

[lashachochua]

Eka good job!!!!

Hey guys what is going on? :quoi :banghead I have headache after so much headbanging

[Steven]

China didn't support Russia just because it doesn't want to worsen its relations with the EU, since it does a lot of exports in these countries.

[iako]

It makes no difference-why? It is not only china who will think about the outcomes after that unconsciousness step.. I am sure that the heads of other countries will correctly evaluate the possible results and make the right decision not to recognize S.Osetia and Abkhazia..

[GAMS]

[Karl.in.eu]

So Darwin's theory was right...

[RusNeko]

What are you talking about??! It's not the Georgian-Russian war, it's the Georgian-Ossetian war!!! Georgia attacked their_own provinces! Can you imagine USA bombing Texas, Russia attacking Kola Peninsula or France attacking Bretagne?!?!? It's AWFUL!

[Giorgi]

What are you talking about??! It's not the Georgian-Russian war, it's the Georgian-Ossetian war!!! Georgia attacked their_own provinces! Can you imagine USA bombing Texas, Russia attacking Kola Peninsula or France attacking Bretagne?!?!? It's AWFUL!

It is obviously this is Georgian-Russian conflict announce by US & EU press, simple in google
Georgian-Russian conflict are 191,000 artical & Georgian-Ossetian conflict are 61,000 artical.
Russia is AGGRESSOR " Results 1 - 10 of about 566,000 for Russia is aggressor. (0.31 seconds) "

[Salomo]

What are you talking about??! It's not the Georgian-Russian war, it's the Georgian-Ossetian war!!! Georgia attacked their_own provinces! Can you imagine USA bombing Texas, Russia attacking Kola Peninsula or France attacking Bretagne?!?!? It's AWFUL!

Russia attacked Chechnya several times and really bombed Groznyi down to the ground.

[RusNeko]

GIORGI:
Google: Georgia attacks OSSETIA 1,600,000 results.

SALOMO:
Georgia bombed Tskinvali, and planned to bomb Sukhumi.

[Salomo]

I do not deny that Georgians bombed Tskhinvali, but compare this bombing with the one of Groznyi!!! All tens or hundreds of bombings of Groznyi together!

[RusNeko]

Oh, I see that you know this problem more properly that anybody other..) Ok, but there were terrorists (or how it's in english) in Chechnya, and now, when there are no of them there, Chechnya is in peace. Tschinvali was bombed when PEACEFUL PEOPLE were sleeping!!

[Salomo]

Come on, it was not only terrorists bombed in Groznyi, but normal peaceful people! Russia would have bombed even without any terrorist connection: the crime of the Chechens were that they had proclaimed their independence, they had left Russia. THIS was their "big crime" and everything else was just pretexts.

I am though not a specialist about Chechnya. But Anna Politkovskaya was. Unfortunetaly we can't ask her any more

[RusNeko]

I'm not specialist too, so maybe neither you, neither me are right. While bombing terrorists, peaceful people are always dying too, unfortunately(

[mika]

I'm not specialist too, so maybe neither you, neither me are right. While bombing terrorists, peaceful people are always dying too, unfortunately(

Why can't you put the same logic to the Georgian-Ossetian conflict?
