Statement of the Republican Political Party "Unity"
Republican political party "Unity" is concerned about the activity of the Georgian Church, seeking for all possible means "to restore the integrity of Georgia."
Catholicos of Georgia Ilia II, who has recently addressed a request to the U.S. President Bush for help in restoring the integrity of Georgia, is currently working in the Russian political platform.
In the August 2008 war, the Georgian army brought down fire not only upon the civilians of Tskhinval, but also upon the Russian peacekeepers. Russia has defended South Ossetia. Killing the Russian peacekeepers, Georgia committed an act of aggression not only against South Ossetia, but also against Russia. But today we do not hear the words of repentance for the committed atrocities, but we are constantly hearing urgent requests for help in restoring the integrity of the country-aggressor.
Protecting the territorial integrity of Georgia, the authorities of Gamsakhurdia, Shevardnadze and Saakashvili with the blessing of the Georgian Apostolic Church, tried to expel the Ossetians and Abkhazians from their native land, where these nations had been living for a thousand years. "Georgia for Georgians" - under this slogan were carried out ethnic cleansings in the inner part of Georgia, densely populated by Ossetians.
How the new leadership of Georgia is trying to restore the integrity of the country? They cannot help realizing that the only way to return Abkhazia and South Ossetia, after the decades` atrocities of the former regime, is possible by exterminating or expelling the Abkhazians and Ossetians.
The top leadership of the Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that it will never cancel the recognition of the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Russia has obligations to the Russian citizens of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Georgian church should help the Christians to understand what led them to the two decades of war, terrorism, tragedy in August 2008.
The spiritual mood of the Georgian society, being a long time under the influence of fascist ideas of its rulers, cannot distinguish black and white. The Orthodox Georgians were shooting at the Orthodox Ossetians, the Orthodox Russians ... Orthodox Christian, realizing his sins, repent. Impenitence leads to greater spiritual downfall.
