Georgia, Tbilisi, 13 August /corr. Trend N.Kirskhalia / We are here in order to support the legitimate Government of Georgia, selected by people, said the President Valdas Adamkus of the Republic of Lithuania, at the joint briefing of the Presidents of Poland, Lithuania, Georgia, Estonia and the Primer Minister of Latvia the.
"This legitimate government must have the capability to protect the rights of its citizens, who undergo violence in the places for Russian occupation," he said.
Adamkus emphasized that "in order to attain the solution of situation, formally meetings are going on in the entire world, including the European Union, where the Foreign Ministers attempt to adopt a declaration, coordinated with the Russian and Georgian sides". "I would like that during yesterday's visit of President Sarkozi, a decisionwould be made, which whould strengthen the peace, but in the night, the situation changed to a worse side. I want to appeal the European Union for rendering aid to Georgia," said the President of Lithuania.
"The problem is fact that Georgia does not have a right to solve its conflicts. The sovereignty is only on the paper, and the international community is not so active as must be with the protection of the interests of sovereign Georgia. Occupation troops must leave Georgia if we want the peace to exit here," Adamkus noted.
He called on to bring international forces to the region in order "to ensure the principle of peace". "Otherwise, our meeting has no importance. There are concrete victims. It is necessary for Europe to wake up and provide this region with security system because if this region does not obtain prosperity, the situation will be outside control, and this threatens safety of Europe," Adamkus said.
He called on to remember the Second World War, when connivance to aggressor led to the millions of victims. Adamkus urged media to more actively publish events in Georgia and report reality to its governments and peoples.
