Nous avons collect\u00e9 quelques nouvelles r\u00e9centes sur l’int\u00e9ressante, ou amusante \u00e9volution de Misha<\/em> Saakachvili et de sa G\u00e9orgie natale durant les six derni\u00e8res semaines. Voil\u00e0 en effet que Misha<\/em>, aujourd’hui, n’est pas plus aim\u00e9 des Russes qu’hier, mais parce qu’il copine avec les Iraniens ; voil\u00e0 qu’il trouve beaucoup de charme \u00e0 la Turquie, surtout depuis que ce pays a n\u00e9goci\u00e9 un accord nucl\u00e9aire avec le Br\u00e9sil et l’Iran ; voil\u00e0 donc qu’il est proche de tous les pays qui font la d\u00e9testation du jour des neocons<\/em> washingtoniens qui, hier, portaient en triomphe ce m\u00eame Misha<\/em>, h\u00e9ros de la r\u00e9volution des roses<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tQuelques rappels de ces informations sur la p\u00e9riode, jusqu’aux inqui\u00e9tudes russes exprim\u00e9es hier, concernant les tribulations de Misha<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Le 20 mai 2010<\/a>, sur le site de la Jamestown Foundation, Giorgi Kvelashvili nous explique comment et pourquoi la G\u00e9orgie soutient un r\u00f4le r\u00e9gional grandissant pour la Turquie, au moment o\u00f9 ce pays boucle (le 17 mai) un accord sur le nucl\u00e9aire iranien avec le Br\u00e9sil et l’Iran. Cela, \u00e0 l’occasion d’une rencontre Saakachvili-Erdogan, pour l’inauguration d’un h\u00f4tel en G\u00e9orgie, ce m\u00eame 17 mai, quelques heures avant qu’Erdogan s’en aille dare-dare \u00e0 T\u00e9h\u00e9ran pour signer l’accord en question<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abPerhaps this thought was behind the sentiment Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili expressed on May 17 as he cordially greeted Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Batumi, Georgia’s burgeoning Black Sea Riviera, during the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Sheraton Batumi Hotel, built on Turkish money. Welcoming Erdogan in his native Turkish, the Georgian president underscored the benefits the two countries have garnered by establishing a visa-free free trade relationship with one another<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe political part of President Saakashvili’s speech was no less impressive. Saakashvili called the West’s standoff with Iran the life and death issue for the survival<\/em> [of<\/em>] small \t\u00bbSaakashvili apparently wants to make clear that there is a growing fear in Georgia that if Western capitals and Moscow negotiate a bargain in order to resolve the Iranian nuclear program issue, it increases the chance of Russia’s domination over Georgia and other post-Soviet nations. That the Kremlin would, as a bargaining chip, demand a sphere of influence at the expense of Georgia’s sovereignty and freedom of choice leaves almost no doubt in Tbilisi. Also, it is a widespread sentiment in Georgia that the United States and its European allies are not pressuring Russia enough to make it honor its international obligations and withdraw its troops from the occupied Georgian lands. When it comes to Georgia’s NATO membership, Georgian analysts believe, the West has not been persistent enough in keeping Russia out of its decision-making process and in setting clear goals and a due timetable for Georgia so that no doubts are left in the alliance’s commitment to the enlargement process and the moral principles.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbGeorgians already view the Obama administration’s Russia first policy with alarming concern and their fears only increased after the White House announced that the war [Russia waged against Georgia in 2008] should no longer be an issue when it resubmitted on May 11 the U.S.-Russia civilian nuclear agreement to Congress. Tbilisi’s desire to see the Iranian nuclear problem be solved without Russia being granted a free hand in Georgia is only natural and hence Saakashvili’ calling the Iran issue the matter of life and death for his small country. Turkey’s overall bigger regional role and more economic and political involvement in the Caucasus, in Tbilisi’s calculations, might positively influence the present and future developments in and around Georgia.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Le 21 mai 2010<\/a> (Novosti), les Iraniens annoncent que le pr\u00e9sident iranien est invit\u00e9 \u00e0 effectuer une visite en G\u00e9orgie. En attendant, \u00ab[l]e ministre iranien de Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res Manouchehr Mottaki est attendu en G\u00e9orgie en juin prochain. Ensuite une r\u00e9union de la commission intergouvernementale irano-g\u00e9orgienne se tiendra en Iran avec la participation du premier ministre g\u00e9orgien Nika Guilaouri, a indiqu\u00e9 Ramin Mehmanparast.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
