Georgia has refused to take part in a scheme by Turkey and Azerbaijan to create a regional block involving Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, Turkey and Iran, which has come to be know as the “3+3” platform for the South Caucasus.
“Georgia cannot take part in a geopolitical project with Russia,” said Georgia’s Foreign Minister Davit Zalkalani on Friday when announcing Tbilisi’s decision to not take part in the scheme.
He said he had already expressed his country’s position during conversations with Baku and Ankara.
The proposed scheme envisions the opening of transport routes between the six countries with Turkey and Azerbaijan aiming to create an economic and geopolitical power base in the region.
Moscow has shown a tacit interest in the scheme, possibility with aim of wanting to regain its foothold in Georgia.
Zalkaliani also emphasized that balanced relations with neighboring countries is a foreign policy priority for Georgia and mentioned that Tbilisi had created conditions for the unobstructed transfer of humanitarian cargo in the conflict zone on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
“Due to the escalation in the region, we clearly led a balanced policy on the conflict. There was an immediate response to the transfer of military cargo and transit traffic. In a sense, this contributed to de-escalation. Georgia’s active contacts with the two neighbors were very important,” Zalkaliani added.
The Georgian foreign minister said despite rejecting the “3+3” scheme, Tbilisi was interested in being represented in large geopolitical projects.
Good for Georgia. They’re right to distrust and avoid Russia.
The result of Armenia’s treaty with Russia is obvious.
GEORGIANS ARE BASTARDS!!!! NO FRIEND OF ARMEENIANS OR ARMEEENIA!!! ARMEEENIAN FEDAYEES FIGHT AND LOSE THEIR LIVES FOR THEM AND THEY NOT SUPPORT ARMEEENIA!!!!! GENERAL ANTRANIG MAKE MANY SACRIFICE FOR GEORGIA AND GEORGIAN PEEOPLE!!!!!!
The Armenian kings and royalty during the Bagratid Dynasty (Բագրատունյաց Հարստություն) established in the 9th century AD (885) played important roles in the creation and establishment of the Georgian kingdom.
The Georgia of today is Turkified and our filthy enemies to the east and to the west have plenty to do with this. They have populated Georgian regions bordering Armenia with Turks and pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijanis, most likely as a new future front against Armenia, and Georgians are sleep at wheel while the Turkification of their country continues. Georgians have been bought out by our enemies with revenues they receive from hosting parts of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline transit route that transmits Caspian oil and gas from criminal artificial Azerbaijan to Turkified Georgia, bypassing Armenia, to terrorist Turkey and then onto Europe.
Georgia is NOT to be trusted. During the 44-day terroristic war, Georgia closed borders with Armenia WHILE giving safe passage to terrorist Turkish military trucks and planes to transfer weapons and both Turkish and Syrian ISIS terrorists from Turkey to Azerbaijan. These fake Christians have sold their souls to Sunni Muslim Turkish and Shia pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani criminals for a fist full of petrodollars!
