Georgia in the Crosshairs: The West’s Political Game
In an exclusive interview with Trend, political scientist Ilgar Velizade discusses the West’s strategic moves in the South Caucasus region, specifically targeting Georgia. Velizade highlights the West’s efforts to make Georgia a hostage of their policy, mirroring similar tactics used in Armenia.
Despite external pressures, Azerbaijan has successfully maintained its sovereignty and resisted outside intervention. Velizade notes that Azerbaijan’s resilience has thwarted attempts to meddle in its internal affairs, setting a precedent for other countries in the region.
Recognizing the West’s agenda, Georgian authorities have implemented laws restricting the distribution of Western grants to prevent interference in their domestic politics. This strategic move showcases Georgia’s determination to safeguard its independence and thwart attempts to manipulate its governance.
Velizade underscores the importance of Georgia’s role as a “gateway” to Central Asia, making it a valuable target for the West’s influence. However, Georgian authorities remain vigilant, understanding the risks of becoming pawns in the West’s political game.
As tensions rise in the South Caucasus, Georgia’s resistance symbolizes a larger struggle for sovereignty and autonomy in the face of external pressures.
