euronews - interview - euronews speaks to Georgian Foreign Minister

The voyage to France of Tenzin Gyatso, better known as the Dalai Lama, has drawn plenty of comment, good and bad. Loved or loathed, at 73, the Nobel Peace Prize winner likes to present himself as a simple Buddhist monk. But he has become a global celebrity. Before heading back to India, his home in exile for 50 years, the Dalai Lama spoke to euronews, and explained some of his views on life.

@cengzhan oh, and of course, if possible, always use diplomacy rather than force; always, diplomacy has overwhelming priority

[bbphnix]

@cengzhan it depends; on the one hand, injustice to a country is... exactly that, injustice; and injustice must be thought; however, one must not lose sight of the fact that we are all after all human and that there may still be things to live for rather than giving it all away for a nation; I love my country, but I am not so sure I would die... or kill for it;

[bbphnix]

on the one hand: Georgia should have a bit more diplomatic regarding the ossetians wish to unite with Russian north ossetia; just invading... they could have discussed possible plans for autonomy or something...

on the other hand: it's not Russia's place to decide if the fate of Georgin and ossetia;

[cengzhan]

@bbphnix I guess you have to a fanatic to die for your country :)

[bbphnix]

@cengzhan you sound a bit like a fanatic

[cengzhan]

I am very sorry to say that but as a Turk i do not respect Georgians anymore.. When your country is in attack, you fight to DEATH. Even if it is against a strong country like Russia. They talk but do not fight. I would like to see 100000s of Georgian dead defending their country. Not beging Europe and USA for help.

blizniakov, youre an utter moron of the worst kind. Ignorant, uneducated, mongoloid russian.

What archeological diggings? By who? Where is the proof? Where are the facts?

Stop making up russian fairy tales you saw on Putin TV.

The Georgian people and civilization has been tracked back 5000 years ago. While you russian monkeys were still running around naked in the forest without an identity.

Alan's are descendants of Iranians who came down from the North during Mongol invasions of russia.

Stupid georgian sheep!

Archeological diggings on the southern slopes of the Great Caucasian Ridge show that Alans tools, weapons and objects of everyday life are dated long before Christian era.

Motherland of Gerogians isn't Georgia but Near East.

It was called Tskhinvali and Sukhumi before you russian mongoloids even existed, ok? =)

Russians love everything about America, who are you fooling?

You use American technology, wear American clothes, listen to American music, watch American movies, and you try to indulge everything America offers you.

By just talking to you this little bit, I realize you're nothing more than another uneducated, ignorant russian sheep, who watches nothing but russia state controlled TV every day.

[blizniakov]

Tskhinval (wrong Tskhinvali) and Sukhum (wrong Sukhumi) have never entered into the independent Georgia.

Russia has more rights on Georgia then Georgia on Ossetia.

Russians wear russian or chinese clothes and listen to russian music.
