/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The U.S. is artificially tensing the situation in
the South Caucasus, said President of the International League of
Human Dignity and Security Protection, Russian State Duma member,
General Valentin Varennikov. "The U.S. Administration is directly
interested in creation of tension in the South Caucasus," he said. In
the General's words, the U.S. wishes escalation of 'frozen' conflicts
in an aspiration to perform 'peacekeeping' mission in any part of
the world. "We have many times witnessed peacekeeping optimism,
for example in Kosovo," he remarked. According to the deputy, the
U.S. decided to cut Russia from the outer world as it once happened
after the decline of the Soviet Union. "The Russian President cannot
openly say this but I do," Varennikov underscored.
When touching upon tension in the Russian-Georgian relations Valentin
Varennikov stated that Russia will not allow settlement of 'frozen'
conflicts on the Georgian territory by force. "Mikhail Saakashvili's
statements are targeted at artificial tension in Abkhazia and South
Ossetia for launching war against these unrecognized republics,"
he said. In his words, the matter does not concern the opposition
of the Russian and Georgian peoples who lived in peace and consent
for centuries. The issue is conditioned by wishes and ambitions of
the Georgian President and his western patrons. "We should by all
means prevent escalation of the conflict between Georgia and two
unrecognized republics," Varennikov resumed, reports newsarmenia.ru.
