"Michail Sahakashvili is the only guilty to infringe the territorial
integrity of Georgia," said the Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey
Lavrov in his interview given to "Shpigel," magazine.
"Georgia treated the two nations joined to it within Soviet Times
chauvinistically. President Sahakashvili himself infringed the
territorial integrity of the country when ordered to bomb the peaceful
city of Southern Ossetia. It was a crime against the people whom he
considered to be the citizens of his country," stressed Lavrov.
Russia announced the independence of Southern Ossetia and Abkhazia
after the President of Georgia announced that "the war is not over,
it will start later", said the Foreign Minister.
According to Lavrov, NATO and UN rejected to study the case and the
West was planning to equip Georgia. "Then we were sure that the only
way to provide security to Southern Ossetia and Abkhazia was the
declaration of their independence," concluded Sergey Lavrov.
