And this is not a single case. Much was said about how nice it would be if Georgian journalists would come to Abkhazia. A lot depends on the personality of the journalist. Georgian journalists would come to us but afterwards represent whatever version of events which was required by their leadership. Again and again they come to Samochablo, not to South Ossetia.
Georgian journalists are quite happy to reword the statements of our president.
For instance, representatives of the Council of Europe during their visit to Tskhinval asked President Chibirov about his attitude to Georgia entering the Council of Europe. President Chibirov replied that they were asking the wrong person since South Ossetia is a different republic which has nothing to do with Georgia, and for that reason his opinion was of no importance. However, the Georgian media quoted him as saying that he supported Georgia's entry into the Council of Europe. I would have to stress that if the level of falsehoods to which the Georgian media have been accustomed continues at the same level, there is no hope for negotiations which are even now at a standstill. So the assumption that journalists going to Abkhazia will be writing the truth may be very far from the reality.
