The situation in Georgia around the break away region of south Ossetia is escalating since 8 of August when Georgia was attacking the region as an answer to the violence of seperatists. The conflict worsened since Russia is involving themselves in this conflict by attacking Georgia. This, according to offical statements, to secure the protection of the Russian inhabitants in that area. There is a real danger that the conflict can spread to Abchasia, another seperatist region in Georgia that is supported by the Russians.

Giorgi Targamadze, Chairman of the
Christian Democratic Movement of Georgia calls the international community and democratic world to use all possible means to stop Russia's military aggression against Georgia, ease tension in the Tskhinvali region, and start peaceful settlement of the conflict by the active involvement of international mediators in the process.

Today - at its most important moment in Georgia's history, when the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity is under real threat due to an undeclared war brought on us by Russia - Georgia's Christian Democratic Movement is appealing to the international community and democratic world to use all possible means to stop Russia's military aggression against Georgia, ease tension in the Tskhinvali region, and start peaceful settlement of the conflict by the active involvement of international mediators in the process.
