Letter From Georgia

A friend in Georgia has sent us the following update on the situation there.

Russian army left Gori and some cities in Georgia , but still a little part of Russian army  remains at the sea port Poti. They have also set up a check points in different parts of western part of Georgia. According to the officials we had around 120000 of refugees due to this conflict , some of them started returning to Gori and other places , if their homes are not burned or destroyed. Many thousands of refugees sill remain in Tbilisi , Rustavi. Most of them live in the schools and other state buildings. From the wars in Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 1990- th we still have 247 000 of refugees. Most of them also live in the former state buildings.

The Russian government wants to confess the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. I think they will confirm it tomorrow or on these days. The Russian parliament already voted for that.
