ArmInfo. Georgia’s Embassy in Armenia does not have specific
information about the number of the people killed as a result of battle
action in South Osetia, Georgia’s Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
Ambassador Revaz Gachechiladze told ArmInfo correspondent.

‘There is no specific number. And I don’t want to comment on what
Moscow publishes. I don’t even know how many people were killed when
bombing of the base in Senaki. They say, from 16 up to 60. Their
number will be calculated later, but it is already clear that there
is a big number of the killed and wounded people’, – the ambassador
said. Asked how Georgian authorities may shoot at their own citizens,
since they say that citizens of south Osetia are citizens of Georgia,
the ambassador replied similar question rose when Russian troops were
attacking Grozniy. ‘As for Tskhinvali, all the attacks were pinpoint
at government buildings and accumulation of military bands but not at
apartment houses. By the way, Russian airplanes ruined the theatre
and several buildings when bombing Senaki. One cannot account the
attack absolutely strictly’, – the ambassador added.
