Unexpected outbreak of hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but not in Karabakh but almost on the border with Georgia; and at the same time – a series of arrests of Georgian citizens dressed in camouflage and armed with semi-automatic rifles not only in the territory controlled by Russian border guards in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, but also in the territory of the Russian Federation itself – in Dagestan: a coincidence?
What is the purpose of Armenia and Azerbaijan, which have not yet coped with the coronavirus, today began shooting at each other, and in the Tovuz region?
With what purpose Georgian “guerrillas” – singles deepened without documents into “enemy territory”, knowingly risking to be arrested or killed?
The answer is one: with a PROVOCATIONAL OBJECTIVE. Someone instigated several Armenian and Azerbaijani militaries into actions calling to the other side, which could not remain without reaction. Someone talked several Georgian villagers into provoking the Russian border guards to arrest them with subsequent political resonance. And only enemies or idiots can today explain that Azerbaijanis were fighting back their Karabakh, while Georgians do not recognize the Russian occupation and walked on their native Georgian land!
In fact, it is not that simple. In the run-up to the parliamentary elections in Georgia, the presidential elections in the United States, and the unstable situation in Armenia, which has been extremely exacerbated by the Coronavirus epidemic, the task is to blow up the situation in the Caucasus in order to sharply turn it in the right direction.
Who set such a task?
Those in whose interests: 1 – to prevent the victory of the ruling party of Bidzina Ivanishvili “Georgian Dream” in the parliamentary elections in Georgia; 2 – to prevent the victory of the current President Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential elections. And to this end, to organize provocations, as a result of which their wards will come to power. For example, in Georgia – Saakashvili, who is already sitting with a suitcase at Borispol airport.
Who are they?
They are a group of American politicians – diplomats, very senior officials, congressmen and senators who, from the first day of Donald Trump’s election to this day, have been busy harassing him, accusing him of ties to Moscow, which allegedly helped him become president of the United States.
The same American group accuses Bidzina Ivanishvili of betraying the Euro-Atlantic course – they say that the pro-Russian billionaire, barely becoming prime minister, has restored trade, economic, transport and humanitarian relations with Russia, and today he looks to the North again and turns Georgia around there!
The American group consisting of Kelly, Kent, Keatinger, Coffey, Carpenter and the “Group 13” – I will not list their names and positions for the hundredth time, they are known to everyone! – I have never been able to completely subdue billionaire Ivanishvili and his party “Georgian Dream”, although all these years it “beat off” deputies – groups and alone, dissatisfied with the coabitation with “national” Saakashvili and determined to restore diplomatic relations with Russia.
Moreover, they could not get influence on presidents of Azerbaijan and Turkey – Ilham Aliyev and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Even the “Pashinyan” project did not work – Pashinyan’s “non-governmental sector” seemed perfectly prepared for the US and the huge US Embassy in Armenia also failed to cope with its task, as the US Embassy in Georgia, because it treated the problem superficially without studying the deeply autochthonous nations – the Caucasian peoples, which failed to enslave.
The only proven way left is to set the Caucasus on fire again with interethnic conflicts, where Turkey and Russia will certainly intervene. Moreover, Georgia will be drawn into the war on four fronts at once – in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, which risks involving the Azerbaijani and Armenian population compactly living in Kvemo Kartli and Samtskhe Javakheti; with the Russian armed forces – in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and with Turkey, which, taking advantage of the moment, occupies Ajara.
And Trump will be put before a bad and very bad choice: either before the elections to get into the Black Sea region and start a war with the Russians, knowingly losing the elections in the U.S., or lose forever a bridgehead, looking at Iran and traditionally representing the zone of Russian interests, and for this reason lose the elections in the U.S. too.
That is why the U.S. Embassy instantly responds with angry anti-Russian statements at every incident on the dividing lines, as if knowing about them in advance and as if they had ever stopped in the last 30 years! That’s why the dividing lines are constantly inspected by one little gaffe, risking to get caught in the barbed wire with his luxurious red hair!
And to some representatives of the Georgian authorities, who are already preparing to move to Mishin, I advise you to have the ego not to thank Ukraine for its statement of support in Georgia, which it has offended in blood! And to demand her extradition of the criminal Saakashvili, convicted by the Georgian justice, who is constantly appointed by all Kiev authorities to high state positions.
