The game of the West for Georgia: insidious, dangerous and cruel

According to the international group Tasnim News Agency, Elchin Alioglu wrote a note in Trend News Agency wrote about the developments in Georgia: A new hot spot has been added to the place of protests in the geopolitical map of the world. This time, for the umpteenth time, Georgia has been shaken. The official reason for the crowd on the streets is clear: the draft law on the transparency of foreign influence. On May 1, the draft was approved in the second reading in the Parliament of Georgia. This document requires the registration of every organization and institution whose foreign financial sources make up more than 30% of its funding.

The willingness of the Georgian government to approve the “Transparency of Foreign Influence” law with opposition The West has faced severe. However, the “Foreign Agent” Act was passed in America 86 years ago – in 1938 – and it still exists under the name “Foreign Agent Registration Act”.

According to this law Any person, entity or company that has more than 20% of its financial resources outside the United States is subject to the Foreign Agents Registration Act. However, the US is opposed to the adoption of existing laws in other countries. The reason is simple: this law restricts the activity of the US-created network in other countries, creates an obstacle to the implementation of its programs, and also reduces the opportunities to form a new network. This is where the pressure on Georgia comes from.

As soon as the draft law on “transparency of foreign influence” was introduced in Georgia, where there are 25 thousand non-governmental organizations, most of which are funded by the West. is provided, the West mobilizes its network, creates chaos in the streets of this country and activates popular groups. If this law is approved, the entire Western network will collapse in Georgia, and this not only means the loss of the opportunity to “control Georgia”, but also means the destruction of its plans for other Caucasus republics. Because Georgia has been chosen as the main platform in the West’s plans for the Caucasus republics.

This is confirmed by the fact that for years the illegal financing of the Western network has been taking place from Georgia. Western circles are afraid of losing their leverage in the South Caucasus.

Georgian authorities do not stop working against irrational and immoral pressure from the West.

The opposition of the Georgian government is deliberately trying to falsify its nature in protesting the draft law on “transparency of foreign influence” with statements such as “duplication of the law in Russia”.

that a similar law against China’s influence in the European Union is being prepared.

No logic is needed to justify the actions of the opposition in Georgia. The organizers of the actions in Tbilisi, relying on emotions, call the “transparency of foreign influence” law “an effective and hostile spirit of Russia” and say that it is against Europe, describing it as a document that deprives Georgia of the prospects of membership in the European Union. /p>

The United States and the European Union fully support the actions of the opposition.

Western media consider this draft law “controversial” at best and They emphasize that, in the worst case, it was prepared almost at the behest of Russia.

According to Charles Michel, President of the European Council, this law, instead of bringing Georgia closer to the European Union, will take it away from The Union is moving away.

The European Parliament adopted a statement calling on Brussels to stop the process of European integration with Georgia and also cancel the visa liberalization process.

However, as a result of the liberalization of the visa regime within the framework of EU integration, 700,000 Georgians moved to Europe and worked in menial jobs. A similar trend was observed in Ukraine. Every time terrible concessions are demanded from Georgia in exchange for certain preferences, the foundations of Georgian society are shaken.

Georgia’s opposition, encouraged by such support from the West, started mass protests. Thousands of people surrounded the parliament building in Tbilisi, blocked the roads and started clashes with the police. It is unacceptable to suppress protests.

Salome Zurabishvili, the president of Georgia, who was previously an employee of the French Foreign Ministry, also repeats these statements.

For example, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, President Salome accused Zurabishvili of treason and said: “The saddest thing is that a person who is still legally called the president of Georgia is simply betraying this country.” He directly betrays the national interests of Georgia.

There are several reasons for such a tough stance on the part of the Georgian authorities:

1. Tbilisi seriously needs such a law as the first step in the fight against the obvious and gross influence of the West on Georgian politics. It goes without saying that the current government of Georgia is unmistakably pro-Western and was formed through close contact with the European Union. However, unlike Moldovan and Ukrainian authorities, Tbilisi authorities have managed to maintain their national orientation.

2. Tbilisi’s trust in the West has decreased. Tbilisi authorities realized, although late, that the systematic development of the country and the interests of the Georgian people do not meet the demands of the West. The West saw Georgia as a base against Russia in the South Caucasus. Such contradictions started in 2022 during the normalization of relations between Tbilisi and Moscow. The contradictions deepened when the West asked Georgia to open a “second front” against Moscow after the start of Russia’s military operations in Ukraine. rejected Shortly thereafter, Western criticism of Tbilisi began to mount, and in Georgia, Western-funded non-governmental organizations (NGOs) began to take action against the government.

Georgian authorities understand which the West, which is trying to implement the strategy of “fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian and to the last Georgian”, has practically ignored it. All bridges have been destroyed, and that is why the ruling party “Dream of Georgia” led by Bidzina Ivanishvili has decided to fight until the end.

Tbilisi relies on two scenarios. In the first scenario, in this year’s European Union and American elections, pragmatic forces will come to power or Russia will win the war in Ukraine and the situation will change completely. In this case, Western Georgia should be accepted as it is.

3. The “Georgian Dream” party does not want to turn Georgia into a cradle of radicalism. Among post-Soviet countries where Western-sponsored NGOs have converged, the number of countries trying to ensure transparency of foreign influence and strict control of foreign NGO funding is increasing.

For this reason, those NGOs are turning to places like Georgia where the laws are relatively lax. In Georgia, such NGOs worsen the situation, first of all, they try to worsen the relations between Tbilisi and Moscow. If the situation is not corrected, it will be difficult for Tbilisi to prove to Moscow that there is no relationship between such NGOs and the country’s authorities.

Apparently, the West did not give the Georgian Dream party the right to choose. . Now the main issue is the transition of the West from harsh criticism of Tbilisi to the “Maidan scenario”. If this scenario comes true, West Georgia will be defeated forever. Considering that the democrats are in power in Brussels and Washington, not the pragmatists, radicalization of the situation is not an exception to this rule. arrived, made many promises. Tbilisi believed in these promises. But in August 2008, 5 days after Russian troops entered Abkhazia and South Ossetia, a large rally was held in Tbilisi. And Abkhazia completely fell into the hands of Russia, and Russian tanks were stopped a few kilometers from Tbilisi. It was Georgia that was defeated and distraught.

What happened was the incitement of the West, led by America, against the people of Georgia. Now they are trying to repeat this provocation again. But unlike in 2004, the people of Georgia see the danger and do not engage in adventure. It would be good if the Georgian authorities had seen the true intentions of the West years ago and would not have allowed the new adventure to go this far. Because over the past years, the West has created a very strong network in Georgia.

Moscow is trying to avoid heavy and numerous sanctions that were imposed against Russia after the war in Ukraine. chose as one of the transit countries for parallel export and import operations. As a result, poor Georgia’s GDP increased by 10 percent last year.

But the West doesn’t need a rich, developing Georgia. The West sees Georgia as another hotbed in the Caucasus region, as a means of confronting Russia.
