NATO naval exercises launched in Georgia

In Georgia, joint naval exercises with NATO ships began. In connection with the coronavirus pandemic, the exercises will be held in non-contact mode. This was reported by Georgian media.

Reportedly, on April 7, four NATO ships entered the port of Poti to participate in joint maneuvers with the Georgian Coast Guard. The port included ships from the Alliance’s permanent second naval unit (SNMG2): Italian frigate Virginio Fasan, frigate HMCS "Fredericton" of the Canadian Navy, Romanian frigate ROS "Regina Maria" and the frigate BGS "Verni" of the Bulgarian Navy. Later they will be joined by the Turkish frigate TCG "Salihreis".



From the Georgian side, the coast guard boats Ochamchire and Dioskuria will take part in the exercises. The purpose of the exercises is to increase the level of interaction between Georgian coast guard ships and NATO. In connection with the coronavirus pandemic, maneuvers are carried out without crew contact with communication only in the videoconference mode. Also canceled all the celebrations.

The Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs said that this visit by NATO ships is an example of successful cooperation between Tbilisi and Brussels on security issues in the Black Sea. It is also another confirmation of the Alliance's support for Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration process.

The exercises will last until April 10, after which the ships of the alliance will leave Georgian territorial waters.

    Brothers Bulgarians, as always, decided to participate in this profanation of exercises ... Brothers Bulgarians, why do you need this ... to organize military exercises near the borders of Russia.
    After Northern Macedonia, I believe that the next candidates for NATO membership are logical to expect Georgia and Ukraine ... despite the unresolved territorial problems, I think they will be accepted in the same way as the Baltic countries ... everything goes to this.
    The Italians lit up hehe who Russia is helping to combat the coronavirus ... the theater of the absurd and acting.

        Yes, you have already merged on a large scale in the 90s, even without any "feats" of our then government. Yes, it was your Gorby who took Zhivkov off. And with the Turks, you and we must be careful. You have (almost) love with him, but sooner or later it will backfire ... In short, I do not approve of any military exercises on the Black Sea, no matter what sauce they are served with! It will be only justifiable if the rescue ships are in distress! hi

            I mean that one should not reproach each other. It's pointless, unproductive. The rulers come and go, but the peoples remain. No situation lasts forever. I am convinced that everything will change in the near future. Specifically about our interstate relations, I hope for good changes. And between people, it is already wonderful relationship. Not to be confused with the Phobian devilry stamped on the forums. Most often they are written in manuals from "interested" central ...

              Your truth. I agree, in part. Only one question: who chooses this power, goes to the polls? .. If my memory serves me, then the people? .. So, not everything is so simple ... But it is always arguing who is the "elder" brother "junior" and who owes something to someone is stupid. You must rely on YOUR strength, not forgetting about YOUR interests. This applies to both mine and the Bulgarian people.

                  A nation is a community of citizens and cannot think and relate to power, completely, positively. There are many different opinions. And they must be taken into account. But I want to remind you that the vast majority of this people, with joy, accepted the annexation of Crimea, without thinking about the possible economic consequences. But in any case, if you had given people the opportunity to choose between Yeltsin and Putin, they would have chosen Putin, or rather, the times of Putin’s rule, and not the always drunk EBN.
                  I will give you such an example4, a friend bought a new car, on credit, without thinking about tomorrow, and how to pay the cost of the car. Well bought and thank God. And now, it has been reduced and there is no money, and there is no work. But there were show-offs and a new car. Who is to blame for the fact that he remained in a trough? Putin? Yelitsyn? .. If a person does not have a head on his shoulders, then you give him any power, he will not live better.
                  And the rest, I agree with you. I respect Bulgaria and the Bulgarian people. But we must live [b] independently and protect our interests, above all, and protect them, on our own.

            Or you can’t live without mom’s boobs?

            We live quite normal. GDP from the 90s has grown 3 times. Explicitly M.S. myth!
            Or maybe you don’t know how we ourselves lived in the 90s?

            I know. Was in the Russian Federation then. In some relationships, we were even worse.
            How to take it off? Arrived and drove out of the office?

            A story for a whole article! In summary - Gorbi, through his agents, organized an intra-party coup in the BKP.

              I'm not talking about our relationship. How we lived economically. More precisely survived
              In summary - Gorbi, through his agents, organized an intra-party coup in the BKP.

              And didn’t he organize an assassination attempt on Kennedy?
              And whose agents were you? Russian?
              If not, then the Bulgarians have merged.

      ... arrange military exercises near the borders of Russia

      The exercises are carried out at a great distance (200 km.) From the border of the Russian Federation. I personally consider this kind of action to be completely useless. Well, except as a formal "support of the territorial integrity of Georgia", there is no other meaning. I definitely против all exercises in the Black Sea!
      ... I think the next candidates for NATO membership are logical to expect Georgia and Ukraine ... despite the unresolved territorial problems

      The issue is debatable, although as far as I know there is no such restriction for candidates.

              In Georgia, the coast in a straight line is only 92-95 km. From Crimea to Turkey 200 km, and to Romania 230 km. The Black Sea is not so big. BSF exercises are held at comparable distances from other countries in the region. So, yes ... 200 km is a great distance by the standards of the Black Sea. Nowhere else to go. Yes
