Washington very easily finds common language with new political
leaders in many countries, and Mubarak and other victims to the
so-called Arab spring are best evidence of that. In addition, U.S.
Ambassador to Tbilisi Richard Norland was among the first diplomats
to recognize the parliamentary elections in Georgia. Director of the
European Center on the Geopolitical Analysis Matteus Piskorski made
such statement in an interview with ArmInfo.
"USA's role in Georgia will not change at least because Georgia is
still an important transport route of energy products. Now Mikheil
Saakashvili's supports will surely try to persuade the U.S. that the
winner in the parliamentary elections is not a reliable partner.
However, everything depends on Washington's plans," the expert said.
As for the perspectives of Georgia's European integration after
change of power in hat country, Piskorski said he see no chance for
Georgia to be involved in the European integration process due to
some reasons. Georgia, he said, may hope just for some insignificant
funds as part of the Eastern Partnership Project and implementation
of some infrastructure projects. Ivanishvili's coming to power will
hardly change much in that area. "Georgia is not a priority for the
EU. After the information campaign about violation of human rights
by the Georgian authorities, in Brussels they will be happy to see a
businessman replacing the strange and unpredictable Geporgian leader,"
the expert said for conclusion.
To recall, Bidzina Ivanishvili's coalition Georgian Dream that
won the parliamentary elections in Armenia on October 1 will start
consultations for the candidature of the new parliament speaker and the
Cabinet. The bloc received 55% of total votes on party tickets, while
Saakashvili's party received 40.27%. Ivanishvili's bloc received 38
single-mandate seats in the parliament, Saakashvili's party - 35 seats.
