Dear Sirs/ Madams,
We are writing to you on behalf of the to provide you with information on the current situation in Georgia and ask for your support.
Georgia has been a victim of brutal aggression initiated by Russia since August 7, 2008. In the 21th century, the civilized world witnessed unprecedented acts of vandalism carried out against Georgian people. Russia has violated Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and occupied its territory, killing civilians, bombing and looting towns and villages, destroying civil infrastructure, setting fire to the forest areas, taking civilians, mostly children, women and elderly people, as hostages.
We deeply appreciate the fact that the civilized world stood up against the Russian chauvinism, denounced the aggression shown by Russia towards Georgia and supported Georgia’s commitment to building democracy. Alone, without international support, Georgia will not be able to overcome current crisis and threat of annihilation since we are fighting against the regime that will use unacceptable means to achieve its goals.
Civilized World Against Violence
Looking forward to hearing from you
Many thanks in advance for your support.
