Appeal to Abkhaz People / Campaign 'Sorry'

http://www.humanrights.ge http://www.humanrights.ge/inde... wish to beg every Abkhaz person to forgive us.Sorry for not having hindered the war.Forgive us for not having been able to avoid the disaster that happened.We can understand that a war has its causes and both parties had provocateurs and encourager, who was supplying the rival brothers with weapons to make them kill each other.Somebody has more faults; the other has less; however everybody is guilty in the war.The war innately means the defeat ....We wish to announce this appeal publicly:SorryLet us not divide the people as "ours" and "theirs"; "enemies" or "fraternal people"; "Georgians" and "Abkhazians". We are not enemies. We have nothing to war about. We wish to apology to every Abkhaz person because of Georgians launched the war. Georgian authority never expressed the will of Georgian population.We are sorry about those people who were called Georgians but were shooting. We are sorry about each bullet that was shot, for every word that caused the war. We believe that the sense of past malevolence should not separate the nations, just the opposite it should bring us together. Today, we are launching the Campaign "Sorry" and we want to make everyone think about the reasons and results of the war. Let us think about the present day; let us seek the ways towards each other's hearts. We start our campaign with apology and we wish to show to everyone that it is much easier to achieve results with tender heart than through war and violence. Gun blazing can never be approved.We want to show to everyone how precious Abkhazian culture, Abkhazian people, Abkhazian language...are.We want to hold out our hands.We are applying to every Abkhaz.We know in advance that this appeal will cause the protest from many parties. We know that, unfortunately, Abkhazian and Georgian people's friendship has many enemies. However, we can find the ways to each other's hearts; we can restore the broken bridge between our nations.Authorities are changing continually; however, Abkhazian and Georgian people never fade away. Our children must live in peace.Sorry for not having got in touch with you for so long time; for not having announced these words publicly until now.Sorry for not having been able to resist the disaster that happened.Sorry for not having done more for you, though we could.We are praying for you. We are praying for Abkhazian and Georgian people.We are praying for peace.We are praying for reconciliation.

Great video, thanks for a posting it. The truth is Georgian started the war that nobody needed. Mhedrioni - georgian army - were band of looters and rapers and that is why population of Abkhazh started to defend themselfs. Including armenian population that created a self-defence batallion - so called Bagramyan Batallion. I understand under Abkhaz people you meant everybody who lived in Abkhaz and considered it it's motherland.

----The invasion by Georgian forces of Abkhazia in August 1991...They fully identified with the separatist side. Reports about deliberate destruction by Georgian forces of all major archives, scientific institutes, libraries, museums and theatres in Abkhazia, of ethnic cleansing, looting, rape and wanton destruction caused acute fear of another genocide.Source: The North Caucasian Diaspora In Turkey, UNHRC The UN Refugee Agency, 1996----

Did you understand now why Georgians are started SORRY Campaign? Because they are guilty. Did you learn that Stalin was Georgian? That's why he supported Georgians, that's why his politics killed many Abkhazians, that's why he started assimilation politic.Because Stalian was a Georgian. You don't know anything about your history, you are so ignorant but this is not your fault. You are also assimilated by your fascist government. read and learn, don't be fascist

Many Abkhaz toponyms were transformed into Georgian....Abkhaz were forced to alter their surnames into Georgian, and in the Gal district Abkhaz were given new passports where their nationality was indicated as Georgian. Due to this discriminatory policy Greeks were deported from Abkhazia in 1949, and immigrants from Georgia occupied the abandoned houses. As a result the demographic situation was artificially altered.unpo[DOT]org/member_profile[DOT]php?id=3

.....the prohibition of teaching in the Abkhaz language in high schools, the replacement of Abkhaz names with Georgian ones, restricted social security for persons of Abkhaz ethnicity, unwritten privileges for Georgians, the massive resettlement of Georgians into Abkhazia, the persecution of Abkhaz culture and the falsification of Abkhaz history.
