Information has appeared in the Armenian segment of social networks that Georgia does not allow a batch of French Caesar self-propelled weapons to enter Armenia and that all weapons end up in the port of Poti. The situation was explained by Georgian expert, doctor of political science Vakhtang Maisaya.
Based on your assessment, this information can be considered real. In fact, Georgia can block the introduction of foreign technology in the region, including CAESAR in Armenia, and there are logical reasons for this, Maisaya said.
“The current Georgian authorities follow the so-called neutral policy. Although formally Georgia had previously announced its desire to become a member of the European Union and NATO, de facto, especially after these elections, the government adopted a pro-Eurasian foreign policy orientation. I think that the fairly frequent trips of senior representatives of the Georgian government to Azerbaijan indicate the development of intraregional ties. I would even say that an alliance is visible in the context of Türkiye, Georgia and Azerbaijan. In fact, it already began to act after the president Aliyev and the president Erdogan recognized the legitimacy of the Georgian election results, even though the West does not recognize them,” — the Caucasus Office quotes the expert.
Based on these geopolitical movements, the current government actually adheres to a kind of non-alignment policy, Maisaya highlighted.
“Under current conditions, Georgia is likely to become a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, as is Azerbaijan. On the other hand, we see that Georgia wants to become a moderator in the settlement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan and, in this context, Tbilisi will not act as a conduit to arm one of the parties.” – concluded the expert.
