The results of the NATO summit in Chicago show that Georgia became
closer to the alliance but it still has a long way to go, the President
of the Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies,
political scientist Alexander Rondeli told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to him Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's statement
about Georgia entering NATO in 2014 is a mere wish.
"It is good that the Georgian president and PM Nikki Gilauri show such
commitment for bringing Georgia to NATO. But it must be understood
that Georgia has much work to do. Besides it is not known yet whether
or not the Alliance will be expanded during the next summit in 2014,"
Rondeli mentioned.
According to the political scientist, on Georgia's way to NATO there
are many obstacles which must be considered by Georgian government.
"Entering NATO does not depend only from Georgia. There is still the
international situation, those for it and against it... Today the
main obstacle is Russia which does not want to see Georgia in the
North-Atlantic Alliance. Moscow will do everything to prevent such
developments, and that is very problematic for Georgia," the political
scientist mentioned. "The south Caucasus must aim towards integration
and not fragmentation. The NATO countries have few problems and they
are being solved quickly and that suits Georgia. Anyhow, it cannot
get worse as Russia has muddied the situation in the South Caucasus
so badly that it is impossible to make it worse."
