The Georgian society has contributed significantly to the development
of global politics making its elections strongly linked to
geopolitical viability and therefore in other countries elections are
fair or unfair, while Georgian elections are a projection of
geopolitical interests of foreign actors.
The Georgian political system is surprisingly projected in the state
of affairs in the United States in the 19th or the early 20th
centuries when real democracy was successfully combined with apartheid
and racial segregation. In modern Georgia the Armenian population is
viewed as a resource for the authorities which will support it in any
scenario. This shameful state of affairs was facilitated by support by
Armenia and different Armenian groups.
A successful attempt was made to liquidate the Armenian political
sector in Javakheti and Tbilisi. Instead an inactive marionette
organization was set up. The Georgian special services have
successfully mixed events and the situation so now it is necessary to
complete the previous scenarios and begin with a blank page in order
to figure out the current situation and come up with new initiatives.
This is happening now because there are no illusions about different
companies and groups in Javakheti and Tbilisi.
Now most countries with populous Armenian communities are in a
deadlock. The Armenian voters, independent from their affiliation with
one political group or another, must vote against the government. The
case of Russia was evidence that involvement in the interests of the
government is detrimental to not only the interests of the Armenian
population but also Armenia. Georgia and Russia are absolutely
identical in terms of style and substance of the country's political
regime.
One way or another, geopolitics does not leave the Georgian elections
alone and is visible there. It is clear now that the entire network of
NGOs funded by the Western community is trying to instill in Armenian
voters that Bidzina Ivanishvili's team and the Georgian Dream are more
nationalistic and literally hates the Armenians unlike Saakashvili's
regime. In addition, the motivation of the NGOs is that the Georgian
Dream is Russia's creation and all kinds of arguments and facts are
supplied to prove this.
Most probably, the anti-Armenian intentions of the Georgian Dream are
absolutely transparent though all the political groups if Georgia have
anti-Armenian moods. So what should the poor Armenians do?
There is nothing else to do but to stand firmly on our land and fight
for our rights. In this detestable situation it would be perfect to
vote 50 to 50. The Georgian government and policy deserve this.
The Armenian Georgians need the support of the Armenian political
organizations and mass media more than ever to be able to resist
pressure of local `Armenian authorities' busy with processing their
piece of pie. In Georgia a new generation of Armenian public
organizations has emerged with a new mentality and a new understanding
of the present and future. They need to be supported.
As to geopolitics, everything is fine. The West sponsoring Georgia is
interested in the economic, social and spiritual strengthening of the
Armenian population in Georgia as an important factor of diversity in
that country, as well as prevention of Turkish expansion against which
Georgia is powerless.
