GeorgiaTimes obtains document reconfirming Georgia's plans to invade South Ossetia
Following the end of the August military operation there was a rather long argument on "who was the first"? Who initiated the military aggression by planning actions beforehand and who had to respond? As a result the world community admitted: it was Mikheil Saakashvili who started the war. GeorgiaTimes reports it obtained a document that reconfirms that Georgia's armed forces were preparing the invasion in South Ossetia.
