“Georgian Dream” of billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili is clearly an American project, which came to power in Georgia with the support of Washington,”- said director of the Institute of Political and Social Studies of Black Sea-Caspian region Vladimir Zakharov.
“The whole operation to change the government in Tbilisi had been ventured in the U.S., in any case, Moscow has nothing to do with it. Accordingly, it is too early to declare Georgia pro-Russian, because the government of Ivanishvili is clearly not going to take pro-Western orientation, “- said the analyst.
At the same time, Zakharov said that with the arrival of a sober pragmatist Ivanishvili to replace the overly emotional Mikheil Saakashvili, Moscow will begin negotiations with Tbilisi, which is undoubtedly a positive step. He estimated that in these negotiations can be made by consensus, and the resumption of rail and road links through Abkhazia. The whole point is that it will be ask by Georgia.
“Today the opening of traffic through Abkhazia is benefitial both for Russia and Georgia, and for Turkey and Armenia. Armenia will get out of semi-blockade perpetrated by Azerbaijan and Turkey, and Turkey itself will direct land access to the vast Russian market. Thus, in the case of this project, it will fundamentally change the entire geopolitical region “, – concluded Zakharov.
