`It is quite symbolic, that Russian prime minister spoke about friendship and sympathy towards Georgian people before those military commanders, who carried out military aggression against these people under the PM`s order few years ago.

It is hard to imagine, whom Putin meant in Georgian people. There are many thousands of families in Georgia, who lost their beloved ones in the multiple military aggressions and ethnic cleansing by Russia on Georgian soil.

Due to activities of the Russian leadership and Prime Minister Putin in personal, hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes and become IDPs in their own homeland. Their houses were either razed by Russian tanks or occupied by Russian military servicemen and criminals. In addition, monuments of Georgia`s cultural heritage are being abused facing the threat of destruction in the occupied regions,` the statement says.
