Failure to Withdrawal: Gori

Here is a summary of a recent news blurb:

Matyas Eorsi, a Hungarian lawmaker from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), who traveled to the town of Gori, said he had not seen signs of the Russian troops’ withdrawal.

He said that “after so many promises by President Medvedev about the withdrawal we saw no signal whats0ever of withdrawal.”

Matyas Eorsi also said at a news conference in Tbilisi that he had seen “looted infrastructure” in Gori.

“Gori today is a ghost city. You can hardly see anybody in the streets,” Eorsi said. “We of course do not know who did looting but we know that under international law it is the occupying power, which bears full responsibility for everything that happens in the occupied territory. As a consequence for the looted infrastructure it is the Russian Federation that has to bear all responsibility.”

“Occupation of another country is anything but democratic, anything but obeying human rights and anything but rule of law,” he added.
