Israel Zionist Terrorists Arming Georgia
| Russia blasts Israel for arming Georgia August 20, 2008 presstv.ir | |
"Israel armed and trained the Georgian army," Russian Deputy Chief of General Staff Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn told a press conference in Moscow on Tuesday. He further noted that Israel provided Tbilisi with "military vehicles, explosives, landmines and special explosives for the clearing minefields." Georgia's Deputy Defense Minister Batu Kutelia had earlier denied Israelis' involvement in training Georgian forces, saying "Georgian troops train with German officers and the naval force work with French instructors." The Russia-Georgia conflict erupted after Georgia launched a major offensive against the independence-seeking province of South Ossetia on August 8. Russia, the main ally of South Ossetia, responded by sending in armed convoys and military combat aircraft to repel Georgian army. MMS/PA |
