“We must improve relations with Russia, despite past events”

63

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili caused a small international scandal. He stated that the secret codes of the Hermes 450 unmanned aircraft, purchased by Georgia from Israel shortly before the August 2008 war, were transmitted by the Israelis of Russia. Observers immediately tied this statement to the failure of the Israeli purchase negotiations. weaponswhich, according to a number of media reports, were led by opponent Saakashvili, Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili. The correspondent of “NI” talked with the Georgian Minister of Defense Irakly ALASANIA about this, as well as about the defense policy of Georgia.

- Please comment history with the failed purchase by Georgia "drones"and anti-tank missiles from Israel.

- Georgia at this stage does not need additional weapons, and the recent visit of Prime Minister Ivanishvili to Israel was not related to the purchase of weapons. I myself have already said in this regard that we are no longer in a state of war with Russia and there is an opportunity to promote defense cooperation with Israel. This was exactly what was going on during Mr. Ivanishvili’s visit to Israel, but this visit was not focused on the purchase of weapons by Georgia.

- The issue of impeachment of President Saakashvili is being seriously discussed in Georgian society. For his early resignation expressed and many members of parliament. A question for you as a longtime opponent of the president and one of the members of the Prime Minister’s team: will there be an impeachment?

- I think we should wait until the presidential election. They will be held very soon - in October of this year. Then the people will say their word. Now people must suffer. No need to hurry. The procedure for dismissing the head of state is so complicated that it will take at least a year. This is a collection of signatures, and the court, and a second vote in parliament. For impeachment you need to collect the signatures of 50 deputies, this is a third of all members of parliament. Then a request for impeachment is considered by the Supreme Court (if the head of state committed a criminal offense) or the Constitutional Court (if he violated the constitution). Within a month, the judges pass their verdict, which must then be finally approved by at least 100 deputies. So everything is very difficult.

- Is it true that Georgia this spring increased the number of those called up for military service? This was reported by Russian media. If the call was really increased, then what is the reason? Is Georgia preparing to fight with someone?

- This is incorrect information. This year, on the contrary, we have reduced the number of recruits, although at the same time we are increasing the number of “contract soldiers”. This is being done within the framework of the military reform begun by the previous government, so that by the end of 2016, the beginning of 2017, the Georgian army will completely switch to a contractual basis. Today, 75% of all military personnel are professional military, and 25% are conscripts. Simultaneously with the reduction in the number of recruits, we plan to increase the number of reservists by changing the reserve system itself: it will be of three types - combat, territorial and civil. As a result, we want to create modern armed forces in Georgia that will meet all NATO standards. Their main goal will be to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country, as well as participation in international operations.

- At a recent meeting of the Georgia-NATO Council, Ivanishvili confirmed that part of the American troops would be withdrawn from Afghanistan to Europe, including through the railways of Azerbaijan and your country. Will American soldiers soon appear in Georgia?

- Indeed, such a route for the withdrawal of international troops from Afghanistan was approved. The project is planned to reconstruct the railway section Akhalkalaki-Marabda-Tbilisi, which will increase its throughput to 15 million tons of cargo per year. In addition, in Akhalkalaki, it is planned to build a point for the transfer of trains from the 1520 mm to the “European” gauge (1435 mm) existing in Georgia. We expect that annually 30 million tons of cargo per year will be transported via the Baku-Tbilisi-Akhalkalaki-Kars highway. The new message will not only connect the railway systems of the three countries (Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey), but also allow for the transportation of goods from China and the Central Asian republics to Europe.

- And what about another project, which you supported as well? I mean the restoration of the railway from Georgia to Russia through Abkhazia.

- Personally, I have long been, back in 2005 year, talked about this and advocated the implementation of this project. But now, probably, not the best time for this, as they say, he should “ripen”. And when the time comes, it will definitely be implemented. My task as Minister of Defense is to prevent in the future a new escalation of relations between Russia and Georgia. The line pursued by the new Georgian government is distinguished by pragmatism. This is extremely important for us, because we have to improve relations with Russia, despite past events.

- At the beginning of last month, a suicide bomber attacked a Georgian base in Helmand province in Afghanistan, killing seven soldiers. After that, a video appeared on the Web allegedly from the Taliban threatening Georgia ...

“For our part, we carried out a thorough investigation of the incident.” Also, a similar investigation is conducted by the command of NATO forces in Afghanistan. According to preliminary estimates, it is quite possible to argue that this attack was not directed directly against the Georgians.

    No one expects Georgia to crawl on its knees to ask for forgiveness. Georgia is not Saakashvili, and Saakashvili is not Georgia. In my opinion, Georgia just needs to learn politeness in bilateral relations and respect for history (especially common). Then Onishchenko will not be scary

          Have you tried "Kindzmarauli" "Khvanchkara"? If not, you haven't tasted good wine either! I do not argue "Tokai" is beautiful! But the above wines are divine! It's nectar! And what is bad about "Borjomi"? He's wonderful! And don't speak badly about what you haven't tried. Georgia may need Russia as a sales market, but Russia also needs Georgia as a friendly state with a non-aligned orientation. Why does Russia need NATO by its side? Indeed, if Georgia joins NATO, the question of revising the status of the Black Sea may immediately arise, which means that NATO ships can be permanently based in the Black Sea. Like this !

      Onishchenko is always terrible for everyone! For Georgians (and not only) it is like a slipper for a cockroach. He alone (with one ban on something) is capable of "stopping the PURCHASE of new weapons" and "reducing payments to contractors."
      Onishchenko is an environmentally friendly, economically viable Russian weapon. Very effective against all kinds of "new democracies".

        After receiving a grant, he went to the Strasbourg International Institute of Human Rights. In a year, as a fellow of the US Department of Statewas aimed at training at Columbia University (New York), where in 1994 he received a master's degree in law. Studied at J. Washington University in Washington, trained at the Academy of European Law in Florence and at the Hague Academy of International Law.
        He worked at the Norwegian Institute of Human Rights in Oslo, then at the New York law firm Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler, which was involved in the legal support of US oil and gas projects in the CIS. (Note that in Georgia this company became the legal partner of the Kmara youth organization, which played a role in the Rose Revolution.

          According to some media reports, in 1988, Saakashvili was expelled from the Komsomol and expelled from the university for distributing dissident literature [8]. He was able to recover at the university only after passing in the 1989 — 90 years of military service in border troops of the KGB of the USSR.

          he spent 2 of the year there (in America) then became a student of Shevardnadze

    if Saakashvili has shown himself once the essence hasn’t changed lately, maybe he’s just trying to stay in power, he’s a very dangerous person, plus a lot of information that he is an addict, if this is so easy to manipulate, and the likelihood that by order in case of any military conflicts will adhere to the anti-Russian side, no matter what it turns out for the country and the population of Georgia

    I don’t want to offend anyone who considers himself a Georgian or is connected with this country, but for Russia, especially in an unstable region, such a neighbor represented by Misha is a huge danger

        "Catherine, you were wrong ...". Anyone who knows a little history will not blame Catherine II for the sale of Alaska (generally stupid) or for the track gauge. Under her there were no railways at all, they appeared and were built under Nicholas I, and the fact that the different gauge is correct, it helped us a lot in 1941-42, otherwise the German cars would go straight without reloading on our territory.

          Catherine II didn’t sell Alaska at all, then Alexander II was on the throne. The general sale of Alaska was connected with payments to the landlords for the abolition of serfdom, and in the first place, probably because Russia could lose this territory because it was difficult to control because of its remoteness. So at that time it was the right decision.

          Since the mid-1th century, the standard on the railways of Russia (later the USSR), Finland and Mongolia has been chosen for a gauge of 524 mm (the so-called “Russian gauge”), since it provides the transport of goods of a larger mass than the gauge common in Western Europe width of 1 435 mm. From May 1970 to the beginning of the 1990s, the railways of the USSR were transferred to a gauge of 1 mm. This was done in order to increase the stability of the track during the operation of freight trains, to increase their speed without upgrading the rolling stock itself. After the collapse of the USSR, this is the standard gauge on the railways of all countries formed in its place. Finnish railways to this day continue to use the previous standard - 520 mm.

          The difference of 4 mm does not require re-equipment of the rolling stock, but at the transitional stage it caused serious problems with sharply increased wear of the wheelsets of the rolling stock.

          However, until the end, the relationship between the track width or, more correctly, the gap between the inner faces of the rail heads and wheel flanges (flanges) of the wheel pair with the intensity of their wear could not be established.

          The same gauge (1 mm) is used in all subways of Russia and the CIS. Many tram lines use 520 mm gauge (although there are narrow gauge tram systems with a 1 meter gauge, for example, in Kaliningrad, Pyatigorsk, Lviv, Vinnitsa, Zhytomyr and Yevpatoriya).
          In Ukraine, trams in Yevpatoriya, Lviv, Vinnitsa and Zhytomyr have a meter gauge.
          In Rostov-on-Don, the European standard gauge of 1 mm is used for trams.
          It is interesting to note that the very first railway in Russia - Tsarskoye Selo - had an even wider gauge: 1 829 mm.
          A gauge width of 1 mm was first used in Russia during the construction of the Nikolaev railway (mid-524th century). Perhaps this was due to the fact that consultants from America worked at the construction site, and especially J.W. Whistler (at that time this track was popular in the southern states of the USA). It is also possible that Russian engineers P.P. Melnikov and N.O. Kraft, who visited America before starting the construction of the Nikolaev railway, suggested using this gauge. In addition, this track gauge was convenient in that it expressed a round number of 5 feet. There is a widespread opinion that the military aspect also played a role in choosing the gauge - a gauge different from the European one would make it difficult for a hypothetical opponent to supply troops in case of invasion of Russia (this was the case during World War II, when German troops had to change the gauge for their mobile composition).

        Well, Catherine with her hands has nothing to do with it.
        Historical anecdote.
        .. When they came to Nicholas I with a report on their readiness to build railways, the following dialogue occurred:
        - What rut will we do, tsar-father? Like in England or wider?
        The king thought and asked:
        - On x .. wider?
        The officials did not understand the question and since then in Russia the track on 12 is wider than the European one. smile

        But the translation of the gauge is a stupidity that even the Baltic countries did not go to, and for them it will be more important. Georgians better go to a gauge of 2100mm.

    Leave Georgia to the Americans, the Georgians have found a new owner and will run after it wagging their tail and carrying out different commands. In Georgia, Russia has no interests, you just need to ensure that the legs of the Georgian killer soldiers are not in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. I like it when they are shot in Afghanistan. I wish the Afghan people good luck in the fight against the rotten NATO occupiers and their henchmen from the republics of the former USSR.

      I would like to notice.
      The majority of the site advocates for great Russia, for a strong, sovereign, independent. And how do you, dear comrades, think this without normal (and, ideally, friendly, partnership) relations with your neighbors, even more so with those of them whom you lived for centuries and in the 70s were called SOVIET PEOPLE.
      Pshek-enemies, Baltic-enemies, Ukrainians (after all, we call the fraternal people !!) - traitors, Azerbaijanis dare to lead their line (how can you! ??) from the Central Asian peoples we fence off the thorny fence, we are also less and less friendly with the Mongols, it’s good only in the north - there are no one to argue with anyone — white bears.

      Probably we have something to change, right? Or Russia, like Caesar’s wife?
