On
Monday, September 27, 18:00pm, in front of Russian Federation
Embassy in Tbilisi, The group of "RE-Action"
protesters will launch the second wave of the protest rally
RE-Action in memory of the fall of Sokhumi. September
27, 1993 is the day when the Abkhaz separatists, with active
support of Russian military and political forces, having
repeatedly and treacherously breached the ceasefire, that should
had been secured by Russia, occupied Sokhumi. The outcome was
mass destruction and massacre of local population by war
criminals. Georgia lost its indigenous part-Abkhazeti.
On
the 11th anniversary in memory of this
tragedy the group of "RE-Action" demands
withdrawal of the Russian "peacemakers" and military
bases out of Georgia. We call upon Russian authorities to put
end to provocative military actions in Georgia and stop
supporting separatist regimes not withstanding intergovernmental
and international agreements! The
previous "RE-Action" protest in front of Russian
Embassy took place in Tbilisi
17-27 of August
2004. The participants expressed their protest against the
agressive policy of Russia by "projecting" their
demands and slogans on the walls of the Embassy building. The
protesters handed their appeal to the state agencies and general
public of Russia to the Ambassador of Russian Federation in
Georgia. The action received a considerable coverage both in
local and foreign media and caused certain irritation within the
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The
second wave of the "RE-Action" will take place in
front of the Russian Embassy in Georgia as well as in front of
diplomatic missions of Russia in other countries. At
the same time, the "RE-Action" is active on the
Internet. The majority of Georgian Internet resources joined the
action by placing special information banners on their sites.
The group of "RE-Action" appeals to
Georgian citizens and friends of Georgia to participate in the
action despite their location and express their protest against
the aggressive politic of Russia towards Georgia by joining the
event in the country where they will be at time of RE-Action
--September 27, 2004, or by expressing their opinion through
Internet.
