Georgia has been defeated. It’s a tragedy. Thanks Lord the defeat is temporary. The defeat has got the organizers, instigators, in a word – accomplices.
We name the authorities as the organizers of the defeat, we name as accomplices those political forces which have come out with the initiative of moratorium on debates and discussions with the view of alleged purpose of community consolidation strengthening that have led to the toughening of the censorship, which has been established by the authorities on mass media as it is.
We blame for defeat and call instigators those political parties which, starting from mercantile inducements are pulling Georgia into NATO and right here we note that among the instigators of the kind are presented the political parties which in 2007signed the memorandum with the view of joining NATO.
We blame and impose responsibility on the parties, the representatives of which go abroad in order to get the instructions, which hold Georgia away from actual independence and have turned it into the victim of neocolonialism.
We bow down before those heroes who perished in unequal fight and in the present state of affairs we state – today Georgia fights in American- Afghan warfare, today Georgia fights in American- Iraq warfare, and what is more tragic, Georgia fights in undeclared American-Russian warfare on its own soil.
"Georgian Politics" based on the principle "the truth and nothing but the truth" calls everybody who loves Georgia to come out with demands from Georgian authorities to start taking care of the procedure, which may grant Georgia the status of non-alignment. By means of this status Georgia will take the first step towards the actual, real independence, peace and humanism.
Р.S. We call the political parties functioning in Georgia and which today already abstain from joining NATO to stop profiteering and to recall those statements on the issue which they have been making just several months ago.
The political union "Georgian Politics" denounces Russian aggression towards Georgia and states that at the cost of their life will permanently object to any attempt of the foreign country to violate independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country.
Georgia has been defeated. It’s a tragedy. Thanks Lord the defeat is temporary. The defeat has got the organizers, instigators, in a word – accomplices.
We name the authorities as the organizers of the defeat, we name as accomplices those political forces which have come out with the initiative of moratorium on debates and discussions with the view of alleged purpose of community consolidation strengthening that have led to the toughening of the censorship, which has been established by the authorities on mass media as it is.
We blame for defeat and call instigators those political parties which, starting from mercantile inducements are pulling Georgia into NATO and right here we note that among the instigators of the kind are presented the political parties which in 2007signed the memorandum with the view of joining NATO.
We blame and impose responsibility on the parties, the representatives of which go abroad in order to get the instructions, which hold Georgia away from actual independence and have turned it into the victim of neocolonialism.
