Official Tbilisi has to reconsider its internal and external policiesApril 15, 2009 - 19:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Official Tbilisi has to reconsider its internal and external policies, Georgian Affairs expert Tamara Vardanyan told a news conference in Yerevan. ''Territorial integrity restoration is the main issue for Georgian authorities to solve. Georgian political elite can't seem to realize that Georgia lost South Ossetia and Abkhasia even before August events,'' Tamara Vardanyan noted, dwelling on Georgian authorities' rough mistakes in South Ossetia and Abkhazia issues. ''In its external policy, Mikhail Saakashvili administration should abandon pro-Western and pro-Turkish lines. USA is trying to support anti-Russian attitude in Georgia. As for Turkey, after august events in south Ossetia Ankara rushed to stake territorial claims.'' According to Tamara Vardanyan, Georgian opposition of today can't come up with offers to alter the situation in Georgia. ''Today, Georgia's problem does not lye in Saakashvili - Burjanadze confrontation. Those people will sooner or later leave the political arena and be replaced by new ones, but the problems in Georgia will remain unresolved,'' the Armenian expert noted.
