If indeed Russia has solid evidence to back up the claim that Georgia is training terrorists-which are trained and then dispatched to Russia’s North Caucasus to committed acts of terrorism, then this is an ominous development for the following reasons: First, the 2008 The Georgia’s war of aggression against South Ossetia and Russia’s strong response to it has changed the global balance of power. Until that fateful event, the United States had not taken Russia’s security concerns [i.e. NATO expansion to the border of Russia] seriously. However, few months later, in 2009, the United States was offering a new message of “reset” and a new beginning with Russia. Second, however, despite this dramatic change of the official rhetoric in Washington, the U.S continues to arm Georgia. Third, EU and NATO also continue to hold military maneuvers with Georgia and Georgian troops are currently serving NATO mission in Afghanistan. So, despite a clear setbacksof its drive to join NATO-which was brought about by Georgia’s reckless war against South Osetia- Georgia continue to enjoy a close military collaboration with NATO, EU and United States. For all these reasons, if Russia has hard evidence to support the claim that Georgia is training terrorists-who are prepared to commit acts of terror against the Russian Federation, then, I assume Russia will immediately confront Georgia and states who support Georgia with hard evidence.

Every 5-6 weeks Azerbaijan got armed clashes(and lost their soldiers) with terrorist grups who try to go to Russia.In this regard Azerbaijan got clear face...In Georgia at the same time,there is not reports about anything alike...More over after all ,those terrorist will choose Georgia before any other state to cross to Russia and reasons are well known.This statemnents from Russia officials can(I believe they are) be a truthful one endeed! At least ,what I believe is that those terrorists got a green lite from Shakashvili on their way to Russia. Pankisi George was a not long time ago (prooven) center for terrorists on their way to Russia, so I believe this claims can be truth to! Anyway, Georgia have to be aware of danger above their statehood if this is prooven without any doubt...Support even for one person to act as terrorist in other state is a grave crime! If you got nothing to hide call Russian expert to see for themselfs and proove that nothing alike going on...Thats the way to go, otherways terrible punusment will await you in future...Make calculations about anything but about this one don't -it will come for sure-history is endeed a great teacher! Thank you.

@Zak Since the break up and separatist wars of the 90’s Azerbaijan and Georgia have hosted and gave sanctuary to Chechen terrorism. Chechen warlord Khattab freely operated out of Azerbaijan as well as all the other jihadist leaders. Also read this. http://www.juliagorin.com/wordpress/?p=2323 http://nationalinterest.org/article/mishas-world-3309 @PR101 It is a fact noted not just by Russia that Georgia hosted a jihadist conference in December 09 (see first link) and the plans for Georgia attack on Ossetia where discovered by anti-terrorism raids in Ingushetia and Georgian intelligence trying to set up terrorist cells. Why Russia has not published this information like everything else I have no idea.

@ PR101 Don’t mistake niceness for stupidity…..that is a mistake many have made only to find out different.
