Levan Aleksidze – Tagliavini’s Report is Profitable for Georgia, though Factual Materials Don’t Coincide with Final Conclusion

Expert of international law Levan Aleksidze assesses that report of Tagliavini’s mission is profitable for Georgia. As InterpressNews was informed by Aleksidze, despite the mission had learned many facts, some conclusions are drawn by international policy conjecture. He says that as specialist of international law, he bows before Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini, who had to work under unseen pressure from Russia. He says that Tagliavini was extremely neutral diplomat while heading EU mission, though she managed to prepare profitable report for Georgia. Aleksidze explains that he still has pretenses to Tagliavini’s mission, as factual materials in the report don’t coincide with the final conclusion.
‘The mission accused Russia in issuing passports in Abkhazia and so called South Ossetia, open support to the regions before august war and didn’t affirm genocide of Ossetian population, though mission was not consecutive as it used the existent political conjecture of the today’s world. The mission could have been more critical towards aggressor country, that carried out ethnic cleansing, by depicting it in the report’, – Aleksidze considers.
Aleksidze is surprised by the statement of Georgian politicians, accusing government of Georgia in August events.
‘It is not important who shot first, but the one who shot first was driven by Russia into a corner and was about to suffocate it. The war was inevitable. If we had not fought war with Russia, their tanks would be in Tbilisi in two hours and the country would lose independence’, – Levan Aleksidze stated.
