Russia fired at our villages, who else would do such a terrible act?
Russia is our enemy, as they've confirmed several times." "This is all
because of bad leadership. Our president doesn't understand that bad
Georgian-Russian relations cause a lot of problems for us as well as
Russia. But actually, I think the Ossetians fired the missile." "Well, it's
not easy to say who is really guilty in the incident. I don't believe
what Russia says, but our government isn't exactly reliable either." "I was shocked
when I heard this news. I really sympathize with the people living there,
because they're in stressful conditions-they have no guarantees that
something terrible won't happen tomorrow. I think Russians fired that
missile, nothing else makes sense." "Of course
Russians did it. I mean, isn't it obvious? I think they want to escalate
the situation. But we're used to this." "I really
don't know who bombed us. The Georgian side says that Russia did it
and Russia blames Georgia. Until a careful investigation is carried
out, it's too early to talk about anything. I don't think Georgia did
it, though; our politicians don't need to deal with incidents like this." "I can't say
who did it, but what's happening in the conflict zone is terrible. How
long do we have to put up with things like this? The situation is getting
more and more stressful." "Every side
is guilty. But what about the ordinary people who live in the conflict
zone? The generations grow up with the sounds of fighting." "I think no
one here has doubts that Russia was involved. But a more important question
is whether our army is ready to handle this. What if someone attacks
Tbilisi tomorrow? I doubt the army will be able to fight back." |
An
airplane reportedly fired a missile at Georgian territory August 6.
It landed, but did not explode, near a village just outside the South
Ossetian conflict zone. Georgian authorities say it was Russian planes.
Russia denies any involvement. South Ossetian secessionist authorities
say it was a Georgian attack. Who do you think fired the missile and
why?
