Europe Must Stand up for Georgia
Open Letter from European Academics | September 23, 2009
On the anniversary of the fall of the iron curtain a group of academics advocate that Europe must show stronger support for Georgia. ++ As the EU prepares to release its report on the causes of the war in Georgia we must remember the lessons of a painful past. ++ "The EU was built against […] the iron curtain [so] it would be utterly disastrous if we were to appear […] to condone the kind of practices that plunged our continent into war […] for most of the last century." ++ The 27 EU member states should try and put Georgia back together peacefully.
