Unlike Armenia and Azerbaijan, Georgia has no alternative to joining
NATO, Georgian political scientist Soso Tsiskarishvili said during
a Yerevan-Tbilisi TV space bridge.
"Georgia has made a sensible choice. Its geopolitical function is
to be a link in global security. In this case Kars-Baku project will
contribute to regional integration and stability," he said.
For his part, Armen Ashotyan, member of the RA parliament and the
Republican Party of Armenia, said that dividing lines appeared in
the Caucasus after the USSR decline. "The necessity of demarcation
of borders will emerge after Georgia joins NATO. But Armenia respects
the choice of Georgian people," he said.
According to Director of Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan,
Georgia's joining NATO is a political reality and is a matter of
time. "It may happen in five or even 20 years," he said.
"Georgia's orientation to the West has no alternative. The problem
is whether Armenia and Georgia will be strong enough to maintain good
relations," Iskandaryan said.
