Media: The head of the Defense Ministry of Georgia spoke out against the creation of a naval force in the country

November 8, 2016

Recently, the topic of creating full-fledged naval forces instead of the existing coast guard is being discussed in Georgia. Representatives of those Georgian political communities are actively supporting this idea, and they are trying to ensure that Georgia will soon become part of NATO at any cost. The initiative to create the Navy rejects the country's Defense Minister Levan Izoria. His statement leads newspaper "Sight":

I am categorically against the military fleet. This is associated with colossal funds, with billions. We have the Coast Guard, in which millions of our American colleagues have invested. The creation of a new (navy) I prefer to develop what we have. To talk about the fleet is to deceive the public.

The same Levan Izoria stated that Georgia is participating in an active process on security on the Black Sea and is initiating a joint meeting with the North Atlantic military bloc on this issue. Recall that the so-called program "security on the Black Sea" is supported by Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania. Ukraine also wants to join them.

Recall that the Georgian fleet in its newest stories once it has already "manifested" itself, having met with the forces of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Apparently, now Washington has explained to Tbilisi, then I don’t intend to invest in an adventure to create large warships for Georgia. Although after the elections in the USA anything is possible ...

  Why should the Georgians have a fleet ..... it’s enough to swim on the back of several Georgian machos, and they will be mistaken for a pack of sharks.

  They sell their "scrap metal" for free .. (Example - a gift from 2 Perry to the Polish Navy).
  But then ... 210okv is right - ammunition and spare parts become "gold"!

  In fact, it’s quite a logical and adequate solution. The creation of a modern fleet requires huge days. And even if they are found and the ships are built, the question arises, where to find a place (places) for the safe basing of a full-fledged fleet ?.

  A real assessment of events and their consequences is the responsibility of any defense minister, and the Georgian minister is doing the right thing on this topic.

    Georgian sailors will serve without hats. Sunlight reflecting off their bald patches will become an insurmountable obstacle to Russian missile warheads.
    
    And the camouflage cap-aerodrome will really be introduced soon, but it will not be worn by anyone, but by the commander of a Georgian aircraft carrier:

The Georgian fleet was sunk in Poti by Russian paratroopers and in a skirmish on the Black Sea in 2008.
American friends no longer give out a lot of money.
So, boats and motorboats are the most for the Great Sea Power of Georgia.

Yes, after the fleet of Georgia, almost in full force, was launched to the bottom in the port of Poti, there is no reason to talk about the militancy of this organization. It would be better if they were limited to coastal defense, it would be cheaper for the budget and for pride. Not the sunken fleet, but the proud Coast Guard of Georgia

Let wine, resorts and tourism develop, but what? Previously, in the USSR, Georgian resorts and food were very much in demand. And also short Georgian films were generally with great humor well, the many-voiced Georgian singing is generally amazing!

  Why said so? The fleet will be from the squadron! At the head is the flagship Borjomi, followed by the battleship Tsinandali, guarded by the frigati Kinzmarauli, Akhasheni, Khvanchkara.

Another great sea power was found. And he is to appoint Mishiko Saakoshvili the head of the Georgian Navy, because he is special in everything, he knows how to tie here and he can put pants on the barge deck if necessary.

And I'm for. For the United States to give the Georgians a decommissioned aircraft carrier. Then the Georgian economy and their dreams will surely sink. After all, back in the days of the USSR, there was a joke, you want to ruin, give the country an aircraft carrier.

so that Georgia will soon become part of NATO at any cost

But according to NATO’s charter, a country that has (or has) territorial claims cannot be a member of this alliance.
Regarding the creation or non-creation of their own (Georgian) Navy: the local mentality on the face - why spend the money ourselves if we (in the future) are guarded by NATO. Sometimes a legitimate question arises - why do they need a head? Probably to wear a big cap.

Georgians are part of the French nation, for unknown reasons, resettled in the Caucasus. After modern France is completely occupied by the Arabs, the rest of the French will be forced to relocate to Georgia. The infrastructure is ready - wine, cognac, chanson, everything is there. It remains to decide what to do with the Eiffel Tower and the Red Mill. Leave or pick up?

... "To talk about the fleet is to deceive the public."
Well, Ukraine does not shout loud and pathos statements. Their army is one of the best in the world, and Ukraine itself is a great naval power.
