Yana Amelina: The results of the presidential elections in Georgia are the last name, the anti-Russian course is the sameThe presidential elections in Georgia did not bring sensations. The new head of state, as predicted by almost everyone, was the candidate of the ruling coalition "Georgian Dream", uninteresting and uncharismatic Georgiy Margvelashvili. There was no second round: his closest rivals, the candidate of the former ruling United National Movement party, David Bakradze and the former chairman of parliament, Nino Burjanadze, together gained less than a third of the votes.

By and large, all this is not so important. Starting from the current elections, the presidential post in Georgia will bear a symbolic rather than practical burden. In accordance with the amendments to the Constitution adopted three years ago, the powers of the president are significantly reduced, being redistributed between the parliament and the government (controlled by the same Georgian Dream). The epoch of Saakashvili, who created what is known who put his heart, irrevocably a thing of the past.

Elections did not become an arena for the struggle of ideologies. The first three candidates for the presidency demonstrated a touching unanimity on the main directions of foreign policy. President-elect Margvelashvili supports Georgia’s accession to NATO and the EU, rejects the possibility of returning the country to the CIS ("Georgia is definitely moving towards Europe") and dreams of "restoring Georgia’s territorial integrity", that is, returning the independent states of South Ossetia and Abkhazia which, of course, is impossible. Bakradze and Burjanadze say the same thing.

There is no doubt that the Georgian course "from Russia" and on Euro-Atlantic integration will not change. It is absurd to expect improvements in Russian-Georgian, Georgian-Ossetian and Georgian-Abkhaz relations. Various actions against the installation of barbed wire along the Georgian-South Ossetian border, collecting signatures for a petition against Georgia’s participation in the Winter Olympics in Sochi (from the beginning of October have already collected 28 thousands), burning Russian flags and other similar antics, demonstrating the true approach Tbilisi to establish interstate relations.

The reaction of the Georgian leadership to the participation of the Russian pilot Ivan Nechaev, among other soldiers who reflected Georgian aggression in August 2008 of the year in the Olympic torch relay, is a striking stroke. "It is obvious that a state that wants to improve relations with a neighboring country should not behave so defiantly," the offended government of Georgia commented on this fact. That is, the problem for Tbilisi, like all the recent years, is not in unleashing a war against South Ossetia, but in the only possible Russian response to this inhuman action. Yes, and "to improve relations," apparently, it is fundamentally important not for Georgia, which spoiled them, but for Russia.

And all this despite the fact that the Russian market, contrary to the interests of the consumer and the foreign policy objectives of the Russian Federation, has long been open to Georgian wine and Borjomi water (which frankly loses to Russian mineral waters, both in quality and price). What other unilateral concessions are required from the Russian side? ... But in Tbilisi they are not ready to accept reality. Georgian politicians have not yet realized even such an obvious thing as the fact that the train of “confederative Georgia” had long gone, and on the agenda is not the “return” of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which will never happen, but the preservation of the territorial unity of what remains. . It is not by chance that Margvelashvili, Bakradze and Burjanadze, as Saakashvili and Ivanishvili used to do, sang the old song about “searching for a common language with Abkhazians and Ossetians” and building a new Georgia, “which will be interesting both for Abkhazians and Ossetians” in the whole election campaign. ".

In the present circumstances, the personal composition of the Georgian leadership is not fundamental - it still does not cope with the challenges of the time. In Georgia, there is not and in the foreseeable future there will be not only pro-Russian, but at least pro-Georgian politicians who are aware of the full depth of the domestic and foreign policy risks facing this state. For a qualitative improvement in Russian-Georgian relations, we need not absurd claims to Russia, but the repentance of the Georgian leadership (and, most importantly, society) for the events of the 2008 of the year (or rather, for what happened at least from the 1989 of the year). But where there is - Georgia is proud of its "heroes." The country obviously needs external control, and it must be implemented by the same methods - by the forces of the Russian Governor-General from Vorontsov Palace, which is on Rustaveli Avenue in Tiflis.

    In the West, these elections have been called democratic and legitimate. Democracy is the power of the people in the interests of the people. I very much doubt that in the interests of the Georgian people its further impoverishment, if Georgia enters the EU free trade zone (they will not be accepted into the EU in the next 40 years), the remnants of Georgian industry will go down in history, the standard of living will drop even more. This is the kind of democracy the West brought with its color revolutions.

        The funny thing is when the supposedly democratically elected post of prezik is transferred from dad to son, something like the DPRK, (with all due respect to Ilham), when they allegedly vote for a son who has not yet shown himself. According to the DPRK - the great Kimersen (the eldest was clever), Kimchenir (the middle one was this way and that), Un (the youngest was ..k). We are waiting for the heir.

          Your comparison is inappropriate. In the first in the last election, the results of the elections and the exit polls coincided. Moreover, exit polls were carried out by Western organizations.
          and Koreans simply transfer power from father to son, etc. Aliyev Sr. for a long time directed his son to various branches of government and brought up a worthy replacement for himself.

          As for Georgia, the main loser admitted defeat. And the journalist is right. You should not expect that as soon as Misha Saakashvili leaves, Georgia will rush to Russia on its knees. Replacing the figures does not change anything. Georgia has chosen its own path

            Georgia, Dear, Russia does not need to rush to its knees when Russia is already bent over by cancer. The United States and the Bushes generously showered Georgia with money. its airfields were needed to strike in the north of Iran, but now everything has changed and interest in it has disappeared. What Georgia has - barge and wine, how to enter the market where Beaujolais, Mezelskoye and Don Perenyon are atrocious, nothing. And do not forget, the defeat of Georgia coincided with the onset of the crisis and the United States now has problems with financing its civil servants, and Europe has bankrupt Greece and Portugal. There is no one to shower Georgians with generous gifts, and in Russia Kindzmarauli has a very warm attitude. The new prezik can sincerely hate Russia, but it’s necessary to trade, it’s not crazy Misha, who from the phobia swelled the last money into bunkers. Yes, and the Orthodox Georgians, especially with the status of Adjara, the strengthening of new Ottomans may seem frightening.

                I am purely Georgian quotes:

                Recently, in Georgia, more and more opinions have been voiced about the fact that the Turks will soon make up the majority of the population in Adjara and tear off the autonomous republic from Georgia. But experts admit that the influence of southern neighbors in Adjara is excessive: Turks are massively building everything here, from mosques to brothels, according to an analytical article by the GruzInform agency.
                Former Georgian Prime Minister Tengiz Sigua shares concerns about what is happening in Adjara. “There, almost all production was subordinated to the Turks. Here is another illustrative example. Batumi had a wonderful library. According to my information, the Turks bought it, opened a gambling house in it. 70% of investments in Georgia are from Turkey. It may be good if we did not give them leverage. Why is Turkey disposing of Batumi airport ?! ”, he told the VZGLYAD newspaper, noting that although Georgia has good relations with Turkey, such a strong influence is unacceptable.
                Another serious problem in Georgian-Turkish relations is the religious factor. Since the spring of this year, hundreds of people in Batumi periodically take part in rallies against the construction of a mosque in the capital of Adjara in honor of the Ottoman sultan Abdul Aziz. The action organizers claim that 180 mosques, as well as 60 madrassas and boarding schools, are already operating in Adjara. Participants in the protests noted that Sultan Abdul Aziz is the same sultan who "enslaved Adjara" and that "there is a Turkish expansion."
                The agency writes that a few weeks ago, the Georgian Foreign Ministry began to study complaints about the fact that in the history textbooks for Turkish high school students, the territory of Adjara along with Batumi is presented as part of Turkey. Representatives of the Georgian public demanded clarification from Turkish Ambassador Levent Burkhan. Ankara has already promised to deal with this and “fix” the textbooks.

                      Hrych (excuse me, of course, I don’t know you) .You can write everything you can everywhere. Let's say Americans in Georgia planted 30 planes to strike at Iran. How will they go to bomb if they don’t have a common border? Do you think Armenia will allow them? I don’t think there is a Russian base there. Russia will not allow Armenia to provide its airspace for attacking Iran. Yes and Armenia is unprofitable. The Armenian-Iranian border is one of two unique opportunities for Armenia to enter the world. Azerbaijan and Iran have a signed agreement that the territory of the countries will not be used for military purposes + 25 to 30 million Azerbaijanis live there, do you think we will give the opportunity to bomb our own? Recently, even the Amers were refused access to the AWACS corridor for their planes. Not to mention the bombers. Turkey and Turkmenistan remain. Georgian airfields, if the United States Air Force base is in Incirlik? And the Turkmens are generally neutral, they even collaborated with the Taliban when the Afghan was under their control and there is still no ba Threat of NATO for Afghanistan.

                      Amers have bases in the Persian Gulf and air bases in Afghanistan to strike Iran. And do not forget about the Israeli Air Force.

                      the referee said Saakashvili by reference. you think his words are serious. his goal is just a sick paranoid. to indicate the importance of his country he could say anything.

                        Misha rubbed Obama what was planned with Bush, before the US attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan, they tried to surround the victim with bases, especially from the side where there is no fleet, in particular, Manas appeared in Kyrgyzstan. The north of Iran, where nuclear facilities are concentrated and they are located in the depths of the territory, and the first blow was to be struck against them, namely from Transcaucasia. If Azerbaijan itself was negotiating the use of its airdromes for Israeli aviation, then America, and so far rarely has refused, Armenia is no exception. In general, a blow to a country such as Iran implies that it will simply not reckon with its smaller neighbors when the tamahawks fly. But Russia would simply remain silent and profit from expensive oil and would not want to quarrel over America over Iran. Now everything is different, unequivocally primarily after 2008. in Georgia and in 2013 in Syria, the vector has changed. First of all, the USA itself is changing course, which is Putin’s direct merit, because Forbes now puts him higher than Obama.

As for this, empty words, which are unreasonable when asking about the facts, provide a link to a message on some newspaper , no one will ever use our territory against Iran. who needs Iran’s preemptive strikes because of the attacks of Israel or America. yes and look at the map. Do you think the Jews have nowhere else to hit? Why do you need such a huge hook through the whole region when you can safely enter and strike through northern Iraq, where there is no anti-aircraft defense system

                        So, Colleague, we all use information from the media (if not from the RSU or the CIA), I agree that it is impossible to believe 100%, but there is no smoke without fire. According to Israeli aviation, the rumor was that they should have sat down after the strike to reduce the likelihood of being shot down on the way back and to solve fuel problems, which is not Azerbaijan’s aggression against Iran, but fits into military-technical cooperation with Israel and here in general, there is nothing to worry about. I repeat that striking Iran is a serious matter globally and will bring down international law. The PLA will move into the CA and not only all the agreements will not matter. Thank God this script has now subsided.

                      We will not be rude, but for Developed countries, believe me, all the countries of the Transcaucasus are dwarfs and their opinion is considered insofar as it is. The fate of Georgia is an example when some people thought that the distant giant would protect him from the middle-sized halfling, but everything turned out wrong. No offense, but in Transcaucasia all countries are circumcised, only the coolest Armenians, they are the only ones who expanded the territory at the expense of their neighbors and if Georgia was divided, no matter how you say a superpower, then Azerbaijan is divided by Armenians. If you carefully read the comments, it was about flying over Karabakh, a joke, a military airfield — infrastructure and work of specialists, which only Georgia could provide in the Caucasus — a protectorate of the Bush family. And unfortunately I didn’t come up with this, but I read the media publications and the funniest thing of the United States origin.

At one time, Georgia asked for many years under the wing of the Russian tsars, and, as far as I remember, Tsar Alexander (in my opinion, if I'm not mistaken) didn’t really want to take them under his guardianship. But he took it. Now Russia is accused of all mortal sins - all that Georgia has is bad - Russia is guilty of everything !!!
                  There is nothing to say about the change of course - you look at how the new president spent his childhood, adolescence, and where he studied - there’s no need to explain whose protégé he was.
                  And the nonsense about the fact that OUR pilot carried the Olympic flame, that Russia violated any norms by this - would shut up !!! All over the world, during the time of the Olympic wars, wars stopped (more precisely, armistice was concluded), and Georgia, at the beginning of the Olympic Games, STARTED THE WAR !!!
                  And in general, are we not paying much attention to a "sovereign territory" equal in area to one of the regions, for example, Krasnoyarsk or Khabarovsk krai ???

Investments include cash injections from abroad, incl. loans, purchase by foreigners of land, enterprises, etc. If Korea invests in high-tech enterprises in R., then the Georgians were given money for the army, which they split up, but Misha set up bunkers near Tiflis in psychosis. Since Korea is a comparison, then compare the successes in engineering, shipbuilding, energy and radio electronics, so in Georgia this is not mentioned. That the Turks are buying Adjara with giblets and building brothels with mosques - these investments delight you. Compare Vanuyu Singapore where all money is laundered including from drugs. The Baltic countries scored loans to fill holes in the budget, so you have to repay yes with interest, such investments.

    It seems to me that we pay too much attention to Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, etc. They chose their own president, and they did. Not to us! Spit on them and forget! We have our own country and our interests. And relations should be built only on the basis of this. Profitable - trade. Do not go for a walk. Rude to punish. To expect from them that they will build their lives focusing on us is simply naive idiocy.

    and where did you get this ... if investments increase every year ... salary rises ... you probably haven't been to Georgia for a long time ...
    So it is so, but if you find the statistics of the Georgian "development", you will see that the main Georgian enterprises that bring the "loot" are concentrated in the hands of their Western tailors, and the business is in the light industry. and agriculture every year it gets worse and worse, stability is only in the energy sector. This increases the credit "support" from the EU, UN and the United States. Georgia's external debt as of October 31, 2011 amounted to 4 thousand dollars (252% of GDP), which in per capita terms was equal to 236 dollars.
    As of March 31.03.2012, 11, gross external debt amounted to 398 thousand dollars. Georgia will be squeezed out like a washcloth and ... similar scenarios already existed.

      Politics is the art of the possible. The Georgian authorities, with all their desire (and there is none), will not be able to rush into our arms, and even more so on our knees. Someone was expecting the new government to start banging its head on the floor and sprinkling ashes on its head? So far, it is enough that Ivanishvili publicly, on camera, in the presence of the idiot Saki, declared him the culprit of the war. Is this not enough? In my opinion, this is a lot.
      Statements, screams and hysteria are largely for internal use. Let the exalted audience swagger. The overwhelming majority of Georgian people are for FRIENDSHIP with Russia.

        What Georgians cannot refuse is that they themselves really choose their power. And the power there voices the masses. There is no love for Russia there. They acknowledge that Saakashvili has messed up with Ossetia and Abkhazia. But the fact that the territories left them under the protectorate of Russia is clear to them and they do not want to put up with it. There is no question of any love. It does not matter to them that the actual separation occurred back in 1992. You do not expect love between Turks and Greeks? Between them is Cyprus. For Georgians, you just need to score and equip your country. The West needs them only as a bridgehead. It will be sweet with us - everything will be settled by itself. And you should not indulge in anything! The tougher the better. FIG their goods! And there is no need from Russia to make a stash for the Georgian bandit - there are enough of them. To the homeland of all of them! Let them live there!

      They did not enter the troops, Ossetians and Abkhazians received war and genocide. They, too, will not voluntarily take off their conversation. Although I am personally wary of the Abkhazians, there is talk of persecution of the Russians.

    In a country whose religion, statehood and sovereignty (and simply physical existence) were saved by Russia from destruction by both external enemies and civil strife - and which, two centuries later, led by a Western hand, begins to kill Russian people, unleashing a military conflict?
    What are you speaking about? Georgia is not a state - it is a US colony, a springboard for Freemasonry in the Caucasus, and they do not need a strong Georgia, the strong often become independent. Therefore, the brains of the population will be washed (we recall, by the way, the tests of infra-guns on living people during the dispersal of demonstrations opposition to the tie-eater), the ruling elite will obediently execute the commands of foreign owners, the economy will be exactly in that state to prevent an uncontrollable social reaction of the population. Even if something develops, then all the money will go to those who will invest in this development - and who is investing? Loyal vassals of the United States with claims to regional dominance, such as Turkey, for example. History does not forgive such mistakes - they spat on their savior - well, so "welcom" for use by old offenders ... There is some kind of justice in this ...
