John Mestas, a citizen of USA, has seen an epicenter of the conflict

Translation of Russian talking:

TV- journalist: There were two Americans in the epicenter of the conflict. Earlier this issue we have told about one of them, a wounded journalist who came to South Ossetia from Alaska.
The second one is the citizen of USA and his wife is Ossete. He had been living in Tskhinvali, South Ossetia, till the Georgian attack. He has just gone to Vladikavkaz together with refugees to escape a war. There he has told our correspondents his impressions on the beginning of the engagements. Here are his own impressions both from South Ossetia and from his watching of Western TV-news.

John Mestas: I know the cause side. It’s Georgia... May I speak English?... Because I want America to know what had happened…

Then John had been speaking English. You can watch and listen him…(download video or see it below)
