Adjara can follow the example of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and begin the process of exiting Georgia. ” Such an opinion expressed the Deputy Chairman of the Committee of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation on International Affairs Andrei Klimov.
Senator reacted to the statement by Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili that the country participates in all international financial sanctions against Russia, expressing confidence that it was done “in response to the recent proposals of South Ossetia to enter the Russian Federation.”
“Do not exclude that against the background of such events, Adjara may well follow the example of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and begin the process of leaving the composition of Georgia. Taking into account historical, religious and geographical circumstances it is not difficult to understand that Turkey will not miss the opportunity to strengthen its influence in the northeasternation Black Sea “,” said Senator.
According to Klimov, the decision of the Georgian authorities to join the anti-Russian sanctions “punish the Georgian people.”
“Trade revenues with Russia will fall to a minimum, deliveries from Russia vital for Georgia items too. The place of Georgian goods in Russia will take others. The influx of Russian tourists will clearly collapse. And without that severe economic situation of this small mountainous country will become critical” , “he said, and added that the responsibility for” reckless “actions in relation to their own residents will fall on the Georgian manual.
