Georgia votes for independence and stability Historical choice

The parliamentary elections in Georgia have taken place, with a turnout of approximately 59%, higher than in the previous parliamentary elections. After counting results from 99.64% of precincts, it is revealed that the ruling party of Georgia, Georgian Dream, has garnered 54.08% of the votes.

Four opposition parties combined have received 37.5% of the votes: Coalition for Change – 10.82%; United National Movement – 10.12%; Strong Georgia – 8.78%; and Gakharia for Georgia – 7.76%. Indeed, the Georgian opposition does not recognize the results of these elections and is preparing to hold protests.

However, this post-election sequence of events was also predictable, as we have previously mentioned. The collective West's attempts to create a parallel reality completely disregarded the choices of the majority of Georgian citizens. This is evident since sociological surveys conducted even before the elections showed results that were nearly identical to the outcomes of the parliamentary elections.

In particular, the Imedi TV channel published the results of a public opinion survey conducted by the GORBI company just before the parliamentary elections. According to this survey, 59.5% of respondents were ready to vote for the Georgian Dream. Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, the results of the current parliamentary elections were not surprising, despite certain forces in the West trying to convince themselves and others otherwise.

The same European Parliament, which produces amoral and anti-Azerbaijani resolutions, imposed a "mandatory change of power" on the citizens of Georgia. Its resolution even included the phrasing: "[The European Parliament] expects Georgian Dream to respect the will and free choice of the Georgian people in the upcoming parliamentary elections and ensure a peaceful transfer of power."

How else can this be called but a provocation?! A special role has been assigned to the President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili. She was born to a family of Georgian political refugees in Paris. She entered the French diplomatic service in the 1970s and held positions as the head of the General Secretariat for National Defense in France for international affairs and strategy (2001-2003) and as the French ambassador to Georgia (2003-2004). In other words, we are dealing with a woman deeply committed to France. This is the same France that seeks to create managed chaos in the South Caucasus, betting on the current Armenian leadership. This is Macron's France, which supports revanchist sentiments in Armenia, arms and finances Armenia, and is behind the adoption of most anti-Azerbaijani resolutions, including the latest resolution from the European Parliament.

In this context, the choice made by Azerbaijanis who are citizens of Georgia is both understandable and logical. As is known, in the Kvemo Kartli region, where Azerbaijanis reside compactly, the ruling party Georgian Dream received the following number of votes: 79.54% in Marneuli, 80.71% in Bolnisi, 70.83% in Gardabani, 76.43% in Dmanisi, 69.35% in Tsalka, and 68.65% in Tetritskaro.

Notably, around 300,000 Azerbaijanis live in Georgia, holding significant potential in the electoral process and the political arena of the country. It has already been calculated that Georgian Azerbaijanis account for 7-8% of the votes that ensured the success of the ruling party. They have chosen to support the political force they associate with the sustainable development of Azerbaijani-Georgian relations, one that understands how to ensure peace rather than being an instrument of Western policies aimed at destabilizing the region and turning it into a hotspot for conflict.

Indeed, Azerbaijanis in Georgia voted for a political force that advocates for traditional values rather than artificially imposed, non-traditional views on life. Thus, looking at the broader picture, the results of the current parliamentary elections dealt a significant blow to the policies pursued by the West in Georgia and its attempts to create dividing lines in the region.

The outcomes of these elections also demonstrated that the populations of the two countries share common views on the present and future of the South Caucasus. In this situation, Armenia emerges as the losing side, with its leadership recently flirting with the collective West, repeatedly showcasing its readiness to play the provocative role that this very West assigns to it.

Undoubtedly, if the results of the parliamentary elections in Georgia had been different, the country—along with its president, Salome Zourabichvili, who has consistently acted as a compliant executor of France's will—would have pursued a policy of fragmentation in the region. Fortunately, that did not happen, and Azerbaijani citizens of Georgia played a crucial role in this historic decision.

In the near future, specific steps are expected from official Tbilisi aimed at strengthening Georgian-Azerbaijani relations. Moreover, it is anticipated that the government of Georgia and the ruling party will pay greater attention to the issues faced by Azerbaijanis and take meaningful actions to address them. As for Armenia, there is hope that, in time, the country will recognize its place in the region and cease pursuing policies that serve external interests, which seek to plunge the South Caucasus into a state of managed chaos.
