Will the USA decide Saakashvili's fate?
"The political situation is aggravating in Georgia," says the Leader of the New Times Party (NZhK) Aram Karapetyan.
Mr. Karapetyan doesn't hurry to make predictions for the future as he says everything depends on the U.S. decision. "Today McCain is in Georgia, tomorrow Mattew Bryza will visit the country. Georgia's Foreign Minister is in the USA. America has a great influence on Georgia. Most depends on the U.S. posture."
The NZhK leader says the USA will support Georgia, anyway. "Yesterday, America allotted 242 million dollars to Georgia. Before that, another 186 million dollars were earmarked by the International Monetary Fund. The USA tries to assist Georgia in overcoming the global economic crisis. Even Saakashvili admitted it publically."
Aram Karapetyan says Saakashvili will not resist for a long time and will finally give in. "He will resist neither public nor outer pressure."
Aram Karapetyan doesn't take seriously the announcements of the Georgian authorities who say that the country's opposition is financed by the Russian Federation.
"One can always find reasons for justification. One can always blame a third side for outer pressure. But everything ended in Armenia with the March 1 deadly clashes. The quality of life has worsened so much in the CIS countries that they have all appeared at the threshold of coups."
