Saakashvili loses American support

Saakashvili loses American supportTo preserve power, the Georgian government can go to the deterioration of relations with the United States. Tina Khidasheli, one of the leaders of the Republican Party of Georgia, which is a member of the opposition coalition “Georgian Dream”, created by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, said this at a press conference.

As Khidasheli stated, the Georgian authorities realized that they had lost US support. The position of the United States, she said, does not depend on likes or dislikes towards any person. America is committed to supporting democratic elections in Georgia. According to Khidasheli, all of this means that Saakashvili will go on worsening relations with the United States, and this "can be costly for our country."

As proof of the loss by the Georgian government of American support for Khidasheli, he cites video and his translation of the minutes of the meeting of the committee on foreign affairs of the US Senate. At this meeting, Senator Benjamin Cardin asked questions to Richard Norland, the future American ambassador to Georgia.

According to Khidasheli, Cardin said that there are attempts in Georgia to limit the rights of those who may be elected to the presidency. Richard Norland says in response that there are grounds for alarm during the elections in 2012 and the presidential elections of 2013, and that America is receiving information about the oppression of opposition candidates, information about the role of the Control Chamber, and strong indignation in Georgia and the world community. The US embassy expressed concern both in public and in private conversations with representatives of the Georgian authorities. Norland noted that the support of the USA depends on the situation in the elections in Georgia (this also includes assessments of compliance with NATO standards).

As reportedNews“Georgia”, Khidasheli claims that at this meeting there was talk about Bidzin Ivanishvili and about the “Georgian Dream”.

Expressing the hope that the United States will continue to support the democratic processes in Georgia, Khidasheli said that it is very important that the society in Georgia has information about what they think about the situation in our country in the United States, whose support is so important for the country in the last twenty years old.

Commenting on Norland’s statement and Cardin’s statements, Khidasheli said that the US’s interest in the development of genuine democracy in Georgia is visible. Tina Khidasheli believes that the senators have made it clear that the upcoming elections will be a kind of test for Georgia, on which the US support for Georgia’s membership in NATO depends, and the continuation of the implementation of multi-million programs implemented by America in Georgia. According to Khidasheli, the senators stressed the high importance of creating equal conditions in Georgia for all candidates in elections.

Meanwhile, a scandal erupted in Georgia over the corruption of the elite in the country, which touched President Saakashvili and members of the presidential family. According to MP Jondi Bagaturia, a member of the Unity for Justice parliamentary faction, documents that reveal corruption in the actions of the Georgian government have already been handed over to representatives of international organizations and diplomats accredited to Georgia. According to the deputy, the headquarters of NATO also showed interest in these documents.

Recall that in late February, this parliamentarian made a revelation of corruption, demanding the creation of a commission to investigate. This caused a sharp reaction from Saakashvili, who rejected the accusations.

As noted by Baghaturia, from the 2004 property declaration, it is clear that Saakashvili had insignificant property: an apartment at the price of 95000 GEL, 9500 euros in Societe Generale Bank (in the name of his wife) and 3500 euros in TBC Bank in his name . But according to the declaration for 2009-2010, the property of the Georgian president has increased significantly, and the sources of welfare growth are not visible. The wife of the president received 2009 GEL as a present in 456000, then, in 2010, 644000 GEL. According to Georgian law, the president, members of the government and other high-ranking officials are prohibited from receiving gifts worth more than 1000 lari per year, and income must be declared. However, as noted by the parliamentarian, a million and one hundred thousand lari are hidden.

The anti-corruption activist added that the president is quite likely to block the issue of creating a parliamentary commission. In Georgian society, he noted, there is a significant interest in the property of the president and his family. Creating such a commission for the president would be the best chance to prove the case. But blocking a question means that he is actually a participant in corruption.

Bagaturia invited Saakashvili to the debate on live television. As the deputy stated, the Georgian president “has been walking for two weeks, shouting, and is engaged in scolding me. He fills out declarations of rallies, claims to have become rich in legal ways. If there is something left in his soul, I am ready for him and me to sit on his platform, on his Rustavi-2, live, and calmly, without any hysteria, have a debate. ”

According to the deputy, he undertakes to prove live that the president of Georgia got rich illegally - and appropriated property owned by the state.

        Mishiko has support ... And this article is not at all what it really is ... Georgia just so far is not really needed by the West for any purpose, but it is, as it were, in reserve ...
        As a person, Saakashvili is no longer needed by the Americans, the leader needs to be changed, but also pro-American ... so there is support for the country, support for Mishiko is in doubt ...

          I completely agree with you domokl, Saakashvili is just an expendable material for the states, which (alas for the Americans), did not live up to expectations. Now you need to wait for the next puppet, selected and approved, taking into account all the leading mistakes and stocks of Mishiko. There will be a new doll but with much greater ambitions, and you should not expect changes in relation to lunges towards Russia, they will only be added.

                Mishiko had long been saying that it was necessary to cut loot faster, because soon he was going on a campaign, so he was a little messy and cut off the excess stupidly. But this one will not give back, he will run away.

      More reminiscent of wishful thinking. The usual rhetoric of the opposition ahead of the election.
      The United States will never end the tutelage of the current regime. To change Saakashvili, who was soiled up to his ears, for another figure is yes. But the trouble is that the departure of a devoted boy due to a corruption scandal is not beneficial to the United States. It is much more interesting to make a "legend" out of him. This requires a beautifully done physical elimination. But this is no longer the subject of the comment specifically to this article.

      It perfectly characterizes Georgia as a democratic state, i.e. We don’t give corruption consideration to the court, but to an outside observer. And the fact that the amers ceased to support Sahak was to play a card of protest moods and put their own pro-Amerian Ivanishvili for the next term.
      And that is typical, the entire text of the statements would be normal for people who live in the 51st (52,53,54 whatever) state, but not for people of an independent state.

      FOR WRONG RELATIONS WITH THE USA - NONSENSE. THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT OF GEORGIA, ALSO AS AN OPPOSITION, IS UNDER CONTROL OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
      QUESTION ABOUT CORRUPTION BEGINNING OF THE ELECTION VOICE. THIS OPPOSITION IS EITHER SCATTERED, OR DOES NOT HAVE ANY WEIGHT AT THE ELECTORATE. And why would it suddenly in Georgia become interested in our opinion on the situation in their country? CREATE A VISIBILITY THAT RUSSIA FOR THEM IS AT LEAST IMPORTANT THAN THE USA? IN MY LATEST TIME THEIR VIEW IS ONE TAKEN ONLY TO THE OTHER PARTY OPPOSITIVE FROM US.

        As one newcomer from Tiflis, by the way a thoroughbred Georgian and a good guy, told me: "All this Saakakovskaya Georgia is a solid Potemkin village." And the paranoid Saakaka did nothing good for the Georgian people. And the amers are well aware that it is better to change him in time themselves than to be replaced by the Georgian people. And probably then the State Department will not ask permission. So the State Department started to fuss ...

      "Saakashvili is losing American support" why would that be? What kind of offense did Saakashvili commit? Well, even if so, now it is better for us to have Saakashvili in power, because one of the leaders of the opposition coalition said that the deterioration of relations with the United States "could cost our country dearly." So the opposition in Georgia is also pro-American.
      Georgia is a small country; it cannot be independent. If the United States turns its back on Georgia, Georgia will turn to Russia.
      I think that even if Saakashvili personally shoots all presidential candidates and thus wins the election, the US will still recognize the elections as democratic. Why would they begin to throw such a nyashka in the person of Georgia next to Russia. And he did all the American tasks perfectly.
      It’s so that Misha doesn’t relax, so as to warm up the enthusiasm in him. In order to give him, and members of the opposition, to understand that the president will be the one who will serve us more zealously.

      Saakashvili will not lose anything as long as the amers have strategic interest. Although, in fairness, it should be noted that behind his back they can grow the next Mishiko, even more faithful and cynical.
      So there is nothing surprising in the fact that soon Mishka will be thrown into the trash (read as a teacher in Michigan), it’s more likely to be so, but it will be so that Georgia will not become our family anymore, or, let’s say, it won’t be for a long time.
