Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili has ceased to pursue
pro-Armenian policies after a failure to gain the Armenian lobby's
support to strengthen his positions in the country, an Azerbaijani
political analyst has said.
The Russian news agency Regnum has quoted Mubariz Ahmedoglu, the
chief of Azerbaijan's Political Innovations and Technlologies Center,
as telling Salamnews.org, that the Georgian leader is now turning his
eyes on the Jewish lobby, seeking in the meantime to attract Turkey.
"The Armenians in Georgia have so far lived in euphoria, behaving
as though it is Armenia connects Georgia with the West, with Tbilisi
being dependent upon Yerevan," he said.
As for the Georgian authorities' neutral stance on the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, the expert explained that Saakashvili had constantly
relied on Azerbaijan's resources in an attempt to make his country
a regional leader.
"That is why Saakashvili is interested in the protraction of the
Karabakh conflict as that would make Armenia and Azerbaijan dependent
upon Georgia," he said, adding that the long drawn-out process would
make Georgia serve as a channel for international programs, giving
it an extra advantage over its South Caucasus neighbors.
