d=52701 B92 (Serbia) August 14, 2008 Russia thanks Serbians over crisis BELGRADE - Russian Ambassador Aleksandr Konuzin thanked the Serbian people and B92 for their understanding of the situation in Georgia. He also reminded of the victims that fell in the clashes between the Georgian, South Ossetian and Russian forces, that broke out last week. As Serbians came to the Russian embassy in Belgrade today to sign a book of condolences for the South Ossetian victims, the ambassador said his country will not lead a war against the people of Georgia. "First of all I would like to thank your television for coming here to the Russian embassy. I would also like to take this opportunity to address the Serbian public. "Serbs, a big thank you for understanding the situation that has developed in the region of South Ossetia, for the great sympathy that you show for Russia and the citizens of Russia over the humanitarian catastrophe that has befallen that region, as a result of the Georgian government's criminal policy," the ambassador said. "We are very pleased that you understand this situation well, that you did not fall for a propaganda scam, that is attempting to present an aggression on the part of the Georgian army against its own citizens as a conflict between Georgia and Russia." "Russians will never go to war against Georgians, just as Russians will never go to war against Serbs. Thank you for understanding the whole situation, and for expressing your sympathies over this sad situation in your letters and verbal contacts with the Russian embassy. Thank you very much," Konuzin said. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
