Question: There is information on ‘Wikileakes’ site confirming that it was President of Georgia M. Saakashvily who unleashed hostilities in August 2008.

That was disclosed to IA “Res” by the deputy Foreign Minister of South Ossetia Alan Pliev who was commenting a number of reports in electronic mass media of existing in US State Department assumptions about possible trafficking through the territory of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
