There is no need to describe all the false information spread by the western media in the past couple of weeks; however, it is undeniable that it was widely condemned by the civilians of South Ossetia. A single fact can tell you everything: during the first three days of the war, when major war crimes were being committed towards Ossetian civilians, there were no western journalists located on South Ossetian territory; they all were covering the war from the Georgian side. The Georgian aggression against South Ossetia admin Mon, 01 Sep 2008 11:37:59 +0400 For the last two weeks, we had all gotten used to the American, and some other media bias in their reports about the state of South Ossetia. There is no need to describe all the false information spread by the western media in the past couple of weeks; however, it is undeniable that it was widely condemned by the civilians of South Ossetia. A single fact can tell you everything: during the first three days of the war, when major war crimes were being committed towards Ossetian civilians, there were no western journalists located on South Ossetian territory; they all were covering the war from the Georgian side. Many journalists, with the intention of supporting the Georgian and American media propaganda, compromised their instinctive morals. Just take a look at how events in this article are presented. The one-sided, pro-Georgian, pro-American, article describes Russian troops as the aggressors trying to destroy the little democratic state of Georgia. Next to this article there is a huge picture of an Ossetian girl crying in the middle of a benefit concert led by maestro Gergiev and his orchestra held in the heart of the shelled and destroyed city of Tskhinvali. How shameful is that?Don’t people understand how blasphemous it is to bring attention to 130 Georgian casualties, most of who were troops that broke into South Ossetia at night with the aim of ethnic cleansing, and completely disregard the thousands of Ossetian civilians brutally murdered in Tskhinvali and in many other villages? All independent sources have already confirmed the act of Georgian aggression started in the evening of August 7th, when the civilians of the city were asleep in their beds. Around midnight, five hours after declaring a ceasefire, Georgia started an extensive ground offensive operation, shelling and bombing the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali and surrounding villages. At this time, the Georgian president, Saakashvili, declared that he ordered to start the operation in order “to restore the constitutional order in South Ossetia”. It was several days later, when the world learned the real name of the operation: “Clean field”. No comments needed. We all know what happened after. Communicating with our relatives and friends in Ossetia, we heard about their horrible stories on how the “field” was actually cleaned. The carriers of Georgian “democracy” were killing elderly people, pregnant women, and children. They aimed to destroy all evidence. They burnt the houses of poor Ossetians, and dropped grenades into the basements where civilians try to hide. They literally ran tanks over people trying to escape and even over the graves at the local cemetery. More than 80% of the buildings and houses in Tskhinvali were either leveled or heavily damaged. It looks like Stalingrad in 1943.The Georgian forces tried the most extremes forms of ethnic cleansing in South Ossetia, armed and supported by the American government and other NATO countries. No people, no problem. That was the main goal of this aggression. We are clear in our opinion on what has happened there. If the Russian forces did not enter the war zone on a second day of the Georgian aggression and did not destroy the Georgian military infrastructure, there would be no Ossetian left alive in South Ossetia. Just a clean field, as the aggressors planned. That is why we thank the Russian government for saving the lives of our relatives. Canadian Ossetians do not blame regular Georgians and do not feel any negative feelings toward them. They too became victims of the political adventures. We blame only the gambling Georgian president, his government and those overseas who generously support them with their taxpayers’ money. Moreover, Canadian Ossetians would like to request for help from our government, for which we voted to have in place. Canada committed $1 million in humanitarian aid to Georgia, as The Canadian Press report says, “…after Russia sent tanks and troops into the ex-Soviet state”. There were just few residential houses damaged, and several civilians died in the Georgian city of Gori. All other Georgian casualties happened to be military, within the battles. We are very sorry for any single Georgian civilian life that was taken, and we are sure the people who suffered there do need our help and support. However, does our government have a right to ignore several hundred Ossetians brutally killed, thousands of those who lost their loved ones, the leveled city of Tskhinvali and 37 thousand Ossetians who escaped from their homeland? Should the South Ossetians have to suffer more because they are not the #1 priority to the Western world?The Canadian Ossetian Association has already started fundraising in order to help the victims in South Ossetia. As taxpayers, and citizens of Canada, we expect our government to see both sides and do everything in their power to help the hundreds of thousands of poor and, now, homeless families of the brutally murdered and injured civilians of South Ossetia.Canadian Ossetian Association ALANIA http://osetins.com/2008/08/13/georgian-democracy-or-tactics-of.html At midnight on August 7th to the 8th, the most feared and anticipated (by both Ossetians and Georgian civilians) took place in South Ossetia. Only a few hours after the Georgian President, Mikhael Saakashvili, officially announced that all fire would be seized in the name of the Olympics and world peace, Georgian troops began a wide spread attack on all of South Ossetia. The Georgian troops concentrated their forces on the capital city Tskhinvali, using all possible forms of force (including warplanes, tanks, mortar rockets “GRAD” and artillery) to fire at innocent civilians in apartment complexes and suburban areas. The Georgian government has made their point clear- To teach Ossetains a lesson and to force them to leave the de facto independent Republic of South Ossetian. The chauvinistic Georgian government claims that they are a democratic country and that they represent freedom, but have in reality proceeded to start a bloody genocide on innocent Ossetian children, woman and elderly civilians. On top of this, innocent Georgian citizens of the surrounding villages have found themselves in the middle of all this crossfire and are being hostages of their own government. The Georgian aggression against South Ossetia admin Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:53:15 +0400 At midnight on August 7th to the 8th, the most feared and anticipated (by both Ossetians and Georgian civilians) took place in South Ossetia.

On top of this, innocent Georgian citizens of the surrounding villages have found themselves in the middle of all this crossfire and are being hostages of their own government. Following this attack, a mass of inaccurate Georgian propaganda worldwide is claiming that their “democratic” government is acting in the best interests of their country, “defending” themselves from South Ossetian separatists and Russian troops. The Georgian government is being supported by NATO as well as some European countries. Due to this, the Russian government is taking the necessary diplomatic and military steps to restore peace in South Ossetia and protect tens of thousands civilians, who are mostly Russian citizens. Georgia and neighbouring regions is walking on a very thin line. All involved parties need to understand this and withstand getting caught up in politics and step away from yet another Cold War. The most ill-fated party from all involved, are the innocent Ossetians who are now suffering from the third wave of genocide brought on to them by the Georgian government in the last 100 years. Attached below are the real results of the “democratic” actions of the Georgian government. The small Ossetian population is now at an even bigger risk of being wiped out in the name of “democracy”. Neither Ossetia nor Russia will let this happen. As long as there is at least one Ossetian man able to fight, Ossetians will defend their homeland and their families. They were born there and are ready to die on this land as free people, rather then live under the fascist regime of the Georgian government as social outcasts. The past few hours have demonstrated that the calculated and long planned blitzkrieg on the South Ossetians has failed completely. Despite the fact that thousands of innocent people have died and are still dying, the Ossetian people (both South and North parts) are ready to unite and defend themselves against their aggressors. Supporting the South Ossetians are the brothering nations of Abhazia, North Ossetia, Russia as well as regular people around the world who do not support fascism, dictatorship and wrongful enslavement of innocent people. We ask everyone who is not indifferent to the fate of Ossetia use all possible and legal ways to speak out against this genocide. Let God Protect The Innocent People In Ossetia and Georgia! http://osetins.com/2008/08/13/death-toll-in-south-ossetia-reaches-2000.html At least 2,000 people, including many children, have been killed since Georgia launched a military offensive against its breakaway republic of South Ossetia. That's according to Russia's Ambassador in Tbilisi. Meanwhile, Russian efforts to help thousands of war refugees and those still trapped in the conflict zone are in full swing. The chief of Russia's ground forces says Georgian shelling has destroyed all the hospitals in the South Ossetian captial, Tskhinvali. It's also reported that more than ten border villages have been burnt to the ground. The Georgian aggression against South Ossetia admin Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:00:36 +0400 At least 2,000 people, including many children, have been killed since Georgia launched a military offensive against its breakaway republic of South Ossetia. That's according to Russia's Ambassador in Tbilisi. Meanwhile, Russian efforts to help thousands of war refugees and those still trapped in the conflict zone are in full swing. The chief of Russia's ground forces says Georgian shelling has destroyed all the hospitals in the South Ossetian captial, Tskhinvali. It's also reported that more than ten border villages have been burnt to the ground. The Russian President, Dimitry Medvedev, said Georgia is denying the whole of South Ossetia the right to life by its actions. He said that: "Russian peacekeepers and military units are carrying out an operation to enforce Georgia to a peace deal. They are also responsible for defending of the civillian population". Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says the government is planning to allocate around $US 400 million for the reconstruction of South Ossetia. “The actions of the Georgian leadership in South Ossetia are crime against their own people. A deliberate blow was delivered to the integrity of Georgia and that means a massive damage to its identity. It is hard to imagine after all that happened and all that is still happening they will be able to convince South Ossetia to belong to Georgia,” said Vladimir Putin. The Russian Ambassador to Georgia, Vyacheslav Kovalenko, says 12 Russian peacekeepers have been killed and 70 wounded during the Georgian attacks. People take shelter in bunkers More than 30,000 refugees have arrived in Russia's southern regions as people try to flee the conflict zone. Meanwhile, thousands of people still remain in the demolished city of Tskhinvali. Amid continuing shelling, people are sheltering in bunkers, but are said to be running out of food, and there is no water or electricity. Russia's Emergency's Ministry has delivered the first consignment of medication to the South Ossetian capital. Humanitarian aid and power generators are also expected to be delivered soon. Russian military officials say the 76th Airborne Brigade of the Russian Army has arrived in the conflict region. One section of the brigade has already flown to the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali. Other troops will move to the region by ground transport, military sources said. The main goal of the reinforcements, military officials insist, is to restore peace and protect Russian citizens. No western cameras in South Ossetia The conflict over Georgia’s breakaway republic is as much about information as it is about weapons. South Ossetia's press service claims Western media outlets can't be trusted because they haven't been operating in the region ”since the conflict began”. (WATCH THE VIDEO) “Only the Russian media and one Ukrainian channel have been filming in the breakaway republic. No western camera crews have been working in the conflict zone,” Suslan Bekoev, South Ossetian committee for information and press, said. Tbilisi remains silent - Russia Russia's Foreign Ministry says it has not received any proposals from Georgia to stop hostilities. The statement comes after reports that Georgia's President offered Moscow a plan to end the violence. Russia has insisted a deal can only be reached if Georgia withdraws its troops. Moscow has repeatedly stressed that it sent additional forces to aid the peacekeepers in the conflict zone, as a response to Georgia's aggression. Meanwhile, Tbilisi has introduced martial law, and accused Russia of launching a war against it. http://osetins.com/2008/08/12/georgia-is-guilty-of-genocide-medvedev.html President Dmitry Medvedev has described Georgia's actions in the conflict zone as genocide. He has ordered Russian prosecutors to collect evidence of the crimes committed there. The Georgian aggression against South Ossetia admin Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:56:19 +0400 President Dmitry Medvedev has described Georgia's actions in the conflict zone as genocide. He has ordered Russian prosecutors to collect evidence of the crimes committed there. ”Georgia has exposed South Ossetia to a very crude and cynical aggression. People have died. Russian citizens have died, including local residents and peacekeepers. The actions of the Georgian side cannot be described as anything else but genocide. “The information we have received suggests that horrible crimes were committed there. People were killed, burnt, run down by tanks, had their throats were cut,” Medvedev said. The President went on to say that “the operation to restore peace will continue and those guilty will be punished”. Earlier, after visiting a refugee camp in North Ossetia, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin also accused Georgia of genocide and said those responsible for war crimes should be prosecuted. http://osetins.com/2008/08/12/georgian-troops-in-s.ossetia.html MOSCOW, August 11 (RIA Novosti) - Georgian troops have been surrounded in South Ossetia and are giving themselves up, a senior Russian military official said on Monday. "Russian troops are currently disarming the surrounded Georgian forces in South Ossetia," Col. Gen. Anatoly Nagovitsyn, deputy head of the General Staff, told a news conference. Russian troops are currently forcing all Georgian troops out of Georgian-populated villages in the east and west of the breakaway region, he said. The Georgian aggression against South Ossetia admin Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:44:32 +0400 MOSCOW, August 11 (RIA Novosti) - Georgian troops have been surrounded in South Ossetia and are giving themselves up, a senior Russian military official said on Monday. "Russian troops are currently disarming the surrounded Georgian forces in South Ossetia," Col. Gen. Anatoly Nagovitsyn, deputy head of the General Staff, told a news conference. Russian troops are currently forcing all Georgian troops out of Georgian-populated villages in the east and west of the breakaway region, he said. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said earlier on Monday that the operation declared on Saturday to "force Georgia to accept peace" was almost complete. Russia drove Georgian troops out of the devastated capital of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, on Sunday, two days after Tbilisi launched a major ground and air offensive to regain control of the pro-Russian region. Shelling and bombing attacks continued on Monday morning. Russia, which has maintained peacekeepers in the region since conflicts in the early 1990s, said over 2,000 civilians have been killed by Georgian forces. Moscow has also highlighted a humanitarian catastrophe in the region. Georgia says it has lost 150 people in the conflict, and that hundreds of Georgians are injured. Nagovitsyn said 18 Russian troops have been killed and 52 wounded. He warned that in the Black Sea near Georgia's other breakaway region, Abkhazia, Russian forces will attack all Georgian ships and aircraft entering the security zone to deter a Georgian attack on Abkhazia. Earlier reports said Russia had sent more than 9,000 troops and 350 armored vehicles into Abkhazia. On Saturday Russia sent vessels to patrol the area near Abkhazia, where martial law has been declared. On Sunday, Russian defense officials said one Georgian missile boat was destroyed after it attacked Russian ships. Nagoviotsyn also said two more Russian military aircraft have been downed in the conflict zone in the past 24 hours, bringing the Air Force's overall losses to four aircraft. He said Russia has gained full control over Georgian airspace, and is preventing all flights by Georgian combat aircraft. "We have eliminated the possibility of an aerial threat from Georgia in the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict zone," Nogovitsyn said. He denied Georgian claims that Russian warplanes have targeted Georgian oil pipelines in bombing raids, in particular the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, which pumps crude from the Caspian to Europe. http://osetins.com/2008/08/12/u.s.-military-aircraft-bring-800.html MOSCOW, August 11 (RIA Novosti) - U.S. military aircraft have flown 800 Georgian troops and a number of armored vehicles back home from Iraq amid an armed conflict in breakaway South Ossetia, a senior Russian military official said on Monday. NBC reported on Monday that U.S. military transport planes had started to bring all the Georgian troops deployed in Iraq back home. "U.S. aircraft have made eight flights to bring Georgian troops home from Iraq," Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn said. The Georgian aggression against South Ossetia admin Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:17:36 +0400 MOSCOW, August 11 (RIA Novosti) - U.S. military aircraft have flown 800 Georgian troops and a number of armored vehicles back home from Iraq amid an armed conflict in breakaway South Ossetia, a senior Russian military official said on Monday. NBC reported on Monday that U.S. military transport planes had started to bring all the Georgian troops deployed in Iraq back home. "U.S. aircraft have made eight flights to bring Georgian troops home from Iraq," Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn said. Nogovitsyn pledged to take adequate measures. "We are ready to increase our forces in view of the relocation of Georgian troops." He said following Russia's deployment of 58th Army units to supplement its peacekeepers in South Ossetia, Georgian and Russian troop numbers in the conflict zone were around the same. Georgian troops launched a major ground and air offensive on South Ossetia on Friday, which according to Russia left around 2,000 civilians dead. The attacks prompted Russia to send in tanks and hundreds of troops. The capital of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, has been virtually destroyed in the violence. Until Georgia made the decision to pull out its troops from Iraq, the country had 2,000 service personnel deployed in the Middle East region, the third largest contingent after the U.S. and Britain. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said the U.S., which has backed Georgia's NATO membership aspirations, is hampering the peacekeeping operation in South Ossetia by flying the Georgian troops from Iraq to Georgia. "It's a pity that some of our partners instead of helping are trying to get in the way, I mean the United States using its military transport aircraft to relocate Georgia's military contingent from Iraq virtually into the conflict zone, among other things," Putin said during a government meeting. Putin said pulling Georgian troops out of Iraq would not change the situation, but called the move a "step back from a settlement." He said he was astonished by the double standards and cynicism of U.S. foreign policy and accused U.S. diplomats of retaining a Cold-War mentality, labeling the aggressor the victim while the real victim ends up being blamed as the aggressor. "Of course, it was right that Saddam Hussein was hanged for butchering several Shia villages, while the current Georgian rulers, who wiped out ten Ossetian villages in no time and burnt people alive in their homes, must be protected," Putin said sarcastically. A top Russian diplomat accused foreign media on Sunday of showing pro-Georgian bias in their coverage of the ongoing conflict. http://osetins.com/2008/08/12/war-victim-trapped-in-basement-with.html A woman is trapped in the basement of her bombed-out house in Tskhinvali after Georgia launched a ferocious missile attack early on Friday.
