The $1.7m Turkey allocated to Georgia for ammunition is not the full
amount. That state is consistently supervising the Georgian army,
claiming it is putting NATO principles into practice, the military
expert Artsrun Hovhannisyan told journalists.
Mr. Hovhannisyan, as well as Vahe Sargsyan, an expert for the Mitk
analytic center, sees implications in this process. According to them,
this is Turkey's government policy aimed at making Javakh an area with
Turkish population, resolving its demographic problems and, finally,
joining its "small brother", Azerbaijan, through land.
"Turkey's policy can be described as a wooden horse in Georgia's
territory. The Kars-Akhalkalak-Baku railway will be a means of
implementing this policy," Sargsyan said. In this case, Javakhk will
be the first victim, he added. One nice day Akhalkalak will be turned
into a big trading center, with Azeris and Turks to dominate there.
As to whether Georgia is aware of that, the experts noted that Georgia
is either unable to resist the "Turkish-Azeri factor" or it has been
"bribed" or it is seeking NATO membership eagerly.
