| US "planned, prepared and ordered" conflict in Georgia: Venezuela |
| 2008-08-16 |
 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Thursday accused the United States of masterminding the current conflict between Georgia and Russia. A statement from Chavez's government alleged the conflict was "planned, prepared and ordered" by Washington in an "incitement of violence." It gives no evidence to support those claims. It also said Russia acted to protect local residents from "unacceptable acts of violence" perpetrated by Georgian troops. |
