By the time the Armenian parliament is playing democracy, the
neighboring Georgia witnessed real democratic events. The party of the
president Saakashvili lost in the parliamentary elections and accepted
the victory of the opposition and Saakashvili said that he does not
mind cooperating with Ivanishvili. The situation is beneficial for
all but Russia.
Russian experts already say that Ivanishvili's victory does not
mean automatic establishment of relations with Russia. Moreover,
arguments are presented that billionaire Ivanishvili spent millions
of the American lobbyists and PR companies. Georgian experts already
affirm that Ivanishvili is not related to Russia.
Actually, Saakashvili, on the eve of the end of his presidential term,
did the most democratic act - elections won by the opposition. At the
same time, he kept under his control almost half of the parliament,
and the majority of the parliament passed to the force which may
ensure the irreversibility of the pro-Western policy and take up the
establishment of relations with Russia.
This is quite beneficial for Saakashvili and Georgia. Russia lost
arguments against Saakashvili because it can no more accuse him of
election frauds. On the other hand, soon, the Georgian authorities
won't represent Saakashvili and Moscow will have no arguments against
negotiations with Georgia. Now, Putin categorically refuses talking to
Saakashvili, but apparently, he will have to speak to Ivanishvili. The
elections had to put an end to the irreversibility of the democratic
development of Georgia, and they did it. It's Armenia's turn.
