Article reports that Russia and Georgia renewed on the 17 September 2008 their war of words over who started the August 2008 conflict.

The Georgian government distributed a series of mobile phone recordings in support of its claim that Russia was the aggressor in the fighting. Russia insists it intervened only in response to the Georgian assault on the breakaway territory of South Ossetia and on Russian peace-keeping troops.
