(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 16. The opponents of
the Georgian Dream in the parliamentary election to be held on
October 26 have only one chance to win, and that is organizing a
so-called“color revolution,” the general director of the Caspian
Institute for Strategic Studies (Russia) Igor Korotchenko told
Trend.
“Parliamentary election in Georgia will have a fateful
character. This is because they will actually decide the future of
this South Caucasus state. First of all, it should be noted that
the opposition, which is actively financed and supported by several
Western countries, has virtually no chance of getting into
parliament, much less forming a constitutional majority. The ruling
Georgian Dream party still has the best chances not only to get
into the parliament but also to control it. In this regard,
opponents of the Georgian Dream have only one chance, which they
can use. This is an attempt to organize what is called a“color
revolution” in Tbilisi and several other Georgian cities, i.e.,
street riots, seizure of government buildings, and the overthrow of
the legitimate authorities through their violent removal and
physical violence,” Igor Korotchenko said.
According to him, this is exactly the scenario that is being
constructed today by those Western countries, primarily the US and
some other allies of Washington, to prevent the Georgian Dream from
winning the election. However, if it wins such election, which is
absolutely obvious, then, of course, the goal of the West is to
prevent the possibility of a legitimate transfer of power.
“At the same time, it must be said that the laws adopted in
recent months that restrict the activities of non-governmental
organizations that receive funding from outside have caused great
controversy in Georgia. However, most importantly, this is an
absolutely legitimate way to establish who, how, and on what terms
finances the Georgian opposition, which lives exclusively on
Western donations and handouts. In this regard, we are anxiously
watching what is happening in Georgia, because, of course,
destabilization in Georgia, if it happens and is successful for the
West, will also mean a large-scale destabilization of the entire
South Caucasus. Along with Armenia, Georgia will become the main
source of instability. Therefore, it is important for all the
countries of the South Caucasus that the parliamentary election,
which will be held on October 26, be transparent, legitimate, and
most importantly, that there are no excesses when pro-Western
forces will use any kind of street riots to bring down the
government and then suppress it,” Igor Korotchenko said.
