The following was released by the Southern Ossetian government:
Appeal to the Governments and peoples of the world!
Please, help us stop genocide of the people of small South Ossetia! This small country, which has faced constant destruction for 19 years from Georgian fascists. And the international community conceal all the atrocities of Georgia for the sake of the geopolitical interests of America.
Conflict resolution is completely within international law. However, the Georgian side skillfully uses methods of historical falsifications, political insinuations. Georgia enjoys the patronage of a criminal government of the USA, and presents events in the world misrepresented.
At the moment the most part of South Ossetia is erased by the Georgian aggressors. There continue to die elderly, women, children. The death toll is unknown, because the Georgian side attacked all who tried to help the wounded. Children are among them.The situation exceeds even the Georgian cruelty seen in 1991 and 1992. When Georgians at point-blank range shot civilians of South Ossetia, as the example of the bus which was driving with people on bypass road, Zar. No one will forget it! Georgian fascists made all disembrak from the bus and fired on them. They also fired point-blank on women and children. They fired even at a little three-year-old boy, who hid away under the body of his mother.
What else can we say of Georgia?
They buried people alive, burnt them and tortured them in different methods. After all that the world community is silent and Georgians continue to kill. Saakashvili doesn’t feel sorry for anybody, even for his Georgians. For him, the notion of “people” and “meat” is not much different and probably, he prefers more the second.
