' My dear Friends, members and supporters of the Fahler Fantastica Movement.

Today is a great day. A day that will be remembered for a long time. Today we founded our Fahler Fantastica movement which expresses the solidarity of the European People to Alania and its legal Head of Aministration Mr. Dimitri Sanakoev. At the moment we are just 25 people caring actively about this matter, but soon we will convince the society, politicians, artists and common people from next door that our struggle is their struggle. We go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world. Today Alania is a battlefield. A battlefield of freedom. People there are yearning for freedom. 15 years after the downfall of the Soviet Union they finally want to get rid of the direct rule from Moscow. With Dimitri Sanakoev they have set up their own local administration and thus form their own local self government, based on the roots of democracy, based on popular government. The will of the people of Alania was expressed in free, fair and democratic elections. But Sanakoev is not only elected by the people. He is also backed by the central government in Tbilisi. Make no mistake. Georgia has its internationally recognized borders. Therefore Alania is part of Georgia and it is as good as just that President Saakashvili and Sanakoev have the same goal and struggle: to develop Alania so that all people there from all ethnical backgrounds profit from a new beginning.

Moreover this struggle of Sanakoev is important for the whole region. I want to make it clear: Georgia is part of the European Neighborhood Project of the EU. Its culture is European. Georgia belongs to us. It is in our own Interest that Georgia becomes as powerful as it used to be and becomes our strong and reliable partner in the Caucasus. Therefore I am very glad that the Georgian Revolution and Reunification continues.

The first Step of Reunification was Adjara region.

The second step is Alania.

And the third step is yet to come.

The difficulties of a reunification process are well known to all of us. It was our country which was divided into 2 parts for 45 years.

Our brothers and sisters in the Eastern part of Germany were controlled, terrorized and imprisoned by soviets. There was no freedom, no development and it took years and billions of Euro to finally overcome the dictatorship after the reunification in 1990. We are very thankful to those Georgian politicians who helped us to get rid of the direct rule from Moscow and who made it possible that the divided city of Berlin became our common capital of Germany.

Thus we shall support the Georgians and all its peoples: Georgians, Ossetians, Abchasians, Adjarians, etc. in their struggle to form a strong, democratic, united and prosper country independent from the northern neighbor.

God bless you, your families and our Europe of popular government ! '


Sincerely,


Daniel Wicharz
