Georgia Sees Vindication in War Report
Sarah Marcus, Washington Post | October 5, 2009
Both sides claimed vindication following the publication of the EU report on the causes of the Russia-Georgia conflict. ++ “But the report said Georgia violated international law and triggered the August 2008 war by shelling the breakaway region of South Ossetia” rejecting Georgian President Saakashvili's counter claim. ++ The opposition in Tbilisi is moving against the leadership in response to bias TV coverage. ++ “The government's strategy of focusing on parts of the reports that support its positions may eventually fall short with the public.”
