NO TO NEW CAUCASIAN WAR!
Es ist Krieg im Kaukasus!
Wieder einmal stirbt die Warheit zuerst und die Hoffnung zuletzt. Gleichzeitig diskutiert die Linke darüber welche Kriegspartei sie diesmal unterstützen möchte und welche nicht. Darum hier ein paar Worte aus der Internationalen ArbeiterInnen Assoziation (IAA)

NO TO NEW CAUCASIAN WAR!
The eruption of military actions between Georgia and South Ossetia threatens to develop into a large-scale war between Georgia supported by NATO on the one hand, and the Russian state on the other. Thousands of people are already killed and wounded – principally, peaceful inhabitants; whole cities and settlements have been wiped out. The society has beed flooded with muddy streams of a nationalist and chauvinistic hysteria.
As always and everywhere in conflicts between the states, there is not and cannot be the righteous in new Caucasian war - there are only the guilty. The coals which have been fanned for years now have caused a military fire. The Saakashvili regime in Georgia keeps two thirds of population in poverty, and the greater internal discontent in the country this causes, the more it desires to find a way out from the deadlock in the form of a "small victorious war" in the hope, that it can write everything off. The government of Russia is full of determination to keep the hegemony in the Caucasus. Today they pretend to be the defender of weak, but their hypocrisy is abundantly clear: in fact, Saakashvili only repeats what the Putinist soldiery did in Chechnya 9 years ago. Ruling circles of both Ossetias and Abkhazia aspire to strengthen their role as exclusive allies of Russia in the region, and at the same time to rally the impoverished population around the tested torch of the "national idea" and "rescue the people". Leaders of the USA, the European states and NATO, on the contrary, wish to weaken the influence of their Russian rivals in the Caucasus as much as possible to provide to themselves with control over fuel resources and their transport. Thus, we became witnesses and victims of the next coil of world opposition in struggle for power, oil and gas.
This fight does not bring to working people - Georgians, Ossets, Abkhasians or Russians - anything, except for blood and tears, incalculable disasters and deprivation. We express our deep sympathy to the friends and relatives of the victims, to the people which have been left without a roof over their head and means of subsistence as a result of this war.
We shouldn't fall under the influence of nationalist demagogy which demands unity with "our" government, flying the flag of "protecting the homeland". The main enemy of the simple people is not the poor brothers and sisters on the other side of the border or of other nationality. Their enemie are the rulers and bosses of all kinds, presidents and ministers, businessmen and generals, those who generate wars for the sake of multiplying power and riches. We call on the working people in Russia, Ossetias, Abkhazia and Georgia to reject the bait of nationalism and patriotism and to turn the anger on rulers and the rich on both sides of the border.
Russian, Georgian, Ossetic and Abkhazian soldiers! Do not obey the orders of your commanders! Turn your weapon against those who sent you to war! Do not shoot the soldiers of your "opponent" - fraternize with them: a bayonet in the ground!
Working people in the rear! Sabotage military efforts, leave to go to meetings and demonstrations against the war, organize yourselves and strike against it!
No to the war and to its organizers - rulers and richmen! Yes to solidarity of working people across borders and the front lines!

YENİ KAFKAS SAVAŞINA HAYIR!
Devletler arasında her zaman ve her yerde yaşanan çatışmalar olduğu gibi, yeni Kafkas savaşında dürüstlük ve adillik de olamaz – ancak suç olabilir. Yıllardır körüklenen kor askeri bir yangına neden olmaktadır. Gürcistan’daki Saakashvili rejimi nüfusun 3/2’sinin yoksulluğundan ve ülkenin şimdiye kadar ki en büyük iç huzursuzluklarından sorumludur. Bu her şeyin silinip yok edileceği umuduyla “küçük başarılı bir savaşa” kilitlenme dışında bir yol bulma arzusuna neden olmuştur. Rus hükümeti Kafkas’taki hegemonyasını korumak için azmetmektedir. Bugün zayıfın yanında oluyormuş gibi davranıyor, ancak ikiyüzlülükleri apaçık ortadadır: aslında, Saakashvili sadece Putinci askerlerin 9 yıl önce Çeçenya’da yaptıklarını tekrarlamaktadır. Osetya ve Abazya’nın yöneten çevresi bölgede Rusya’nın özel müttefiki rolünü güçlendirmeyi ve aynı zamanda “ulus fikri” ve “insanları kurtarmanın” test edilmiş meşalesi etrafındaki fakirleştirilmiş nüfusu harekete geçirmeyi amaçlamaktadırlar. ABD liderleri, Avrupa devletleri ve NATO öte yandan, yakıt kaynaklarına ve ticaret yollarını kontrol altında tutabilmek için Kafkasya’daki Rus rakiplerinin etkisini zayıflatmayı düşünmektedirler. Bu yüzden iktidar, petrol ve gaz için mücadelede dünya karşıtlığının son halkasının şahitleri ve kurbanları haline geldik.
Bu kavga çalışan Gürcü, Osetyalı, Abaza ve Rus halklarına kan ve göz yaşı, sayısız felaket ve yoksulluktan başka bir şey getirmeyecektir. Kurbanların arkadaşlarına ve ailelerine, tepelerinde çatısız bırakılan ve bu savaşın sonucu olarak geçim kaynaklarından edilen insanlara derin duygularımızı derin üzüntülerimizi ifade ediyoruz.
Bizler “bizim” hükümetimiz ile birlik ve “ana vatanı korumanın” bayrağını dalgalandırmayı talep eden milliyetçi demogojinin etkisi altında kalmamalıyız. Basit insanların esas düşmanı diğer milliyetlerden veya hudutların diğer tarafındaki fakir insanlar değildir. Onların düşmanları tüm kanun koyucular ve patronlar, başkan ve başbakanlar, iş adamları ve iktidarı ve zenginliği arttırma amacı için savaşları yöneten generallerdi. Bizler Rusya, Osetya, Abazya ve Gürcistan’daki çalışan insanları milliyetçiliğin ve vatanseverliğin yemini yutmamaya ve öfkeyi sınırların her iki tarafındaki yöneticiler ve zenginler üzerine çevirmeye çağırıyoruz.
Rus, Gürcü, Osetik ve Abaza askerler! Komutanlarınızın emirlerine itaat etmeyin! Silahlarınızı sizi savaşa gönderenlere karşı doğrultun! “Karşınızdaki” askerleri vurmayın – onlarla arkadaşlık edin: süngüyü yere saplayın!
Geri saflardaki çalışan insanlar! Askeri çabaları sabote edin, savaşa karşı miting ve gösteriler düzenlemek için iş yerlerini terk edin, kendiniz örgütleyin ve savaşa karşı direnişe geçin!
Savaşa ve yönetici ve zenginler olan organizatörlerine hayır! Cephelerdeki ve hudutların arkasındaki çalışan insanlarla dayanışmaya evet!
