Subject: RE: BS: War in Georgia
Correction to a previous post of mine...
Going back to 1991, the Georgians have been the aggressors.
The conflict began in 1990 when South Ossetia declared itself a Soviet Republic, a move rejected by Georgia, which abolished the region's autonomous status.
Fighting broke out in January 1991 when Georgian forces entered South Ossetia's capital Tskhinvali.
