CSTO condemns Georgia’s genocide against Ossetians
Georgia has committed genocide against the people of Ossetia, the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
(CSTO) has announced, according to the assembly’s Chairman and State
Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov. CSTO member states have been engaged in
consultations for several days now, ending up with a joint
statement. Gryzlov stressed that the countries shared the same view on
developments in South Ossetia. In a joint statement, the members
warned against the obvious threat posed by the bloodshed unleashed by
the Georgian leadership and its serious consequences, with the death
toll of thousands of people, destroyed infrastructure and peaceful
settlement in the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict zone seriously
jeopardized.
The CSTO, an organization comprising Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, stated that such
criminal actions should be unambiguously condemned by the
international community, and called on parliaments of other countries
to heed their message.
