    Tbilisi is prepared for a surge of separatism in other regions of
    the country

    YEREVAN IS NOT GOING TO ATTACK GEORGIA TOGETHER WITH MOSCOW TO
    ESTABLISH AN ARMENIAN AUTONOMY; The Georgian press reported that the
    military operation against Georgia was not over and henceforth it was
    necessary to expect a blow from the south where "a few dozen combat
    vehicles are concentrated on the Armenian-Georgian border and are ready
    to start an invasion from the side of Armenia any moment." For example,
    the Apsny.ge website says, "the latest statements of officials of
    Armenia confirm the intentions of the Armenian to repeat the events
    of 1921 and to arrange a mutiny with a follow-up invasion of Russian
    troops to Dzhavakheti (a region of compact residence of Armenians
    in Georgia)."

    The Georgian press reported that the military operation against Georgia
    was not over and henceforth it was necessary to expect a blow from
    the south where "a few dozen combat vehicles are concentrated on the
    Armenian-Georgian border and are ready to start an invasion from the
    side of Armenia any moment." For example, the Apsny.ge website says,
    "the latest statements of officials of Armenia confirm the intentions
    of the Armenian to repeat the events of 1921 and to arrange a mutiny
    with a follow-up invasion of Russian troops to Dzhavakheti (a region
    of compact residence of Armenians in Georgia)."

    Van Baiburt, one of the leaders of the Armenian Diaspora and
    advisor to the President of Georgia, called these publications
    prevocational. Baiburt said, "they could appear because during
    the recent war days, Armenian tank trucks going to Georgia for
    petroleum products were accompanied by military automobiles of
    Armenian Defense Ministry to the state border." According to him,
    there is no concentration of other military vehicles. Colonel
    Seiran Shakhsuvaryan, press secretary of the Defense Ministry of
    Armenia, denied publications of Georgian mass media. He added, "I
    cannot say anything about Russian vehicles because this is not in my
    competence." It seemed that the press service of the Russian Defense
    Ministry heard about the appearance of forces from the Russian military
    base in Gyumri near the Armenian-Georgian border for the first time.

    Nonetheless, the situation in Dzhavakheti is far from calm. Mamuka
    Areshidze, director of the Caucasian center of strategic research,
    reports that among the Russian servicemen there are many of those who
    have served at the 102nd base in Akhalkalaki (administrative center of
    Dzhavakheti). Areshidze said, "they restarted contacts with the former
    fellow-soldiers who quit the military service and remained to live
    in that city. Some of them reported to the competent agencies that
    Russians tried to involve them into a reckless enterprise. However,
    the idea to demand autonomy for the region right now seemed tempting
    to other residents of Akhalkalaki. Along with this, some organizations
    of Dzhavakheti publish demands for autonomy for Kvemo Kartli, a region
    where Azerbaijanis live, in the Internet." Overall, according to him,
    Russian separatists have a separatist propaganda. For example, the
    "Megrel card" is being played in the west of Georgia. According to
    Areshidze, in contacts with the local population, Russians "remind"
    that "Megrels are not Georgians but an ethnic group that has always
    been inclined towards Russia." Areshidze concludes, "we expect
    destabilization not only in Dzhavakheti but also in other regions of
    the country."
