He noted that Russia went the only right way by conducting an operation to force Georgia to peace.
"This barbarism had to be stopped. And Russia conducted an operation to enforce peace. To act differently - it was impossible. And it was in accordance to the law, as well as conscience. We were obliged to protect our citizens. I also speak about the inhabitants of South Ossetia, who had a Russian passport.
