 <description>&lt;p&gt;Prof. R. Parsons was in Tbilisi ten years ago at the International Conference at the Tbilisi State University. I handed him my investigation printed in English-on a floppy disc-where Prof. Lev Elnitski&#039;s( that worked at the University of Leningrad) lies, distortion of the data of the Roman politician Pliny the Elder(Ic.) was revealed and analised by me- a Patents specialist in Electrochemistry in Tbilisi at that time. It is an abuse of the reality that the term Abkhazi is treated as if it were the term denoting some nation that is not Georgian//Kartu//Kardu. Nature punishes persons dealing with that artificially invented problem. Prof. Ivane Javakhishvili used the term &quot;the SO CALLED Caucassians&quot; when writing about recent arrivals in the Caucasssia- small groups of various nationalities, that were and are manipulated by the Russian speaking leaders and historians by INVENTING their histories in the Caucassia. The entire so-called Caucassian studies are misinformation and abuse of the reality. King Irakli II of Georgia//Kartu made a Treaty of Friendship with Russia in 1783 to get the Caucassia free from the various groups that arrived from far away areas(like Siberia etc.) to the  rivers Don, the Aiia(it flows to the south of the Don), the Aragvi rivers flowing in the Northern Caucassia and Southern Caucassia... It is amasing that diplomats are not embarassed as they look at the world map: ten countries have too much territories, while the Kartu nation//the Georgians -the first civilization- is squeezed by recent arrivals to a tiny area. Abkhazi is a REGIONAL name of the Kartu//Georgian nation. The language of the Abkhazi is and was the Kartu//Georgian Language. The Abkhazi are not and have never been the Apsua. The word &#039;apsua&#039; has several meanings in Kartu// Georgia. In ancient language of the kingdom of Kartuniash//Karduniash//Kartu it was a name of the area where the national god of the Kartu lived in several areas: at the Northern coast of the sea called &quot;the Georgian&quot; sea, now known as the Caspian sea; in the Urals where there is the area called &quot;Ancient Apsua&quot;=Staroapsovo in Russian; at the Northern coast of the Sea of the Lazoi// of the Colkhoi//the Georgians(Sea of the Lazoi is the Sea of Azov). Mapmakers Anthony Jenkinse, G. Hondius, Abraham Ortelius made maps that display this in XVII-XVIIIcc. Apsua is a name of a region in these areas. It has become a name of a small group of various nationals, including the Kartu//Georgians recently. Abkhazeti and Kavkavi(now Vladikavkaz) are indigenous middle Kartu//Georgia. Indigenous Georgia embraces the area of the Don. Evgeni Bolkhovitdinov-director of Aleksandr Nevski Christian Academy in St. Petersburg learned that and published in his booklet &quot;Izobrajenie Gruzii v politicheskom, istoricheskom, kulturnom otnoshenii&quot; printed in Petersburg in 1802 and in German in 1805. The text on the Georgian kingdom embracing the Don is at p.5 and 9 accordingly. Aristarchos king of Georgia ruled the Don valley, besides other areas. So did Mithradato the VII, his sons, his grandchildren. Poor Osses are braiwashed by false textbooks. Both Northern Osseti and the former &#039;South Osseti&#039;(Tskhinvali region nowadays) are situated on indigenous middle Kartu//Georgia. North Osseti ought to be abolished like the South Osseti. Those Osses that desire independence ought to seek that in their motherland in the East Asia from where they were ousted and persecuted by others.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;People, listen please. I have a poor English, but it is my duty to tell the truth. Nowadays American and world press say that Russia attacked poor Georgia. That is not true. My old friend lives there and he approves the info from Russian TV. Georgians attacked Osetia, maybe it&#039;s a plan of CIA, currently it is not known. Georgian artillery degan to strike the Russian MP base in Osetia when the Olympic games just began.There where only few Russians, but they managed to stay alive and to confront Georgians during operation of taking Chinvali. All videos, which are translated as a Russian attack on Tbilisi-are fake. That is Georgian aircraft attacking Chinvali. Only on that night 1500 Osetians where dead... Awfull. It is proved, that Georgian army killed wounded Russian MP&#039;s and Osetian kids/women. Kisten for Osetians themselvs-tyey are grateful to Russian soldiers, who protected them. Look where they wanna go-it is Russia. Obviousely Russian side has the true in this argue. If you protect Saakashvili-you are a fascist. That means you protect Hitler-because Saakashvili initianed genocide of Osetians. All other news are US fake.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;I wish the international community including EU stop looking away and blinding itself as if what Russia is doing id not clear. Georgia is a democratic cuntry that is struggling tor esolve it&#039;s conflicts(which were Russian backed and provoked in first place) through peaceful means.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Russia has said it will do ANYTHING to stop Georgia enterng NATO and they certainlya er doing everything to achieve that. if world does nothing, bloody conflict will arise between Russia and georgia, in which georgia has no interest, but Russia does!&lt;/p&gt;

What does it take to persuade the European
Union that what Russia is doing in Georgia&amp;#39;s breakaway provinces of Abkhazia
and South Ossetia merits more than a gentle reproach? 
&lt;/p&gt;
