Gori/Brussels 16 August 2008

Marie Anne Isler Beguin, Head of the Delegation of the European Parliament to Georgia participated in a first diplomatic convoy into the city of Gori led by the French ambassador Eric FOURNIER representing the Presidency-in-office of the European Union, and including Mr. Milen KEREMEDCHIEV, deputy foreign minister of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian Ambassador, this 16 August 2008 afternoon.

She calls to the International community to assure an immediate opening of this first humanitarian corridor and especially food supply to the population of Gori city.

She met Mr. VARDZELASHVILI, governor of Gori city and Mfr. Barsoshvili, Deputy of Gori, the only Georgian administration left in the ghost town of Gori.

The city is empty, almost all population has fled. Those staying behind have no more food supplies. While Russian troops patrol during day time, after curfew at 22.00 hrs illegal militias of unknown origin are free to loot, steal, and intimidate those still in Gori.

There is urgent need to open a corridor for humanitarian help for these people, now. They need food, they need hope, and they need to know that we are here and will look after them".
