SOUTH OSSETIAN GROUP APPEALS TO RUSSIAN PRESIDENT
By empty (2/9/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The Union of Russian Citizens of South Ossetia has addressed an appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin, copying State Duma speaker Boris Gryzlov and OSCE Chairman in Office Karel de Gucht. The statement praised the Russian peacekeepers\' role in response to the Georgian incursion of August 2004 and termed them the sole guarantee of peace and a nonresumption of hostilities. At the same time, it expressed concern over the anticipated decision by the Georgian parliament to insist on the Russian peacekeepers\' withdrawal from the conflict zone which, it suggests, will be followed by a new Georgian aggression.Visit also
