Georgian politician: Today, all world`s intelligence services are in  Armenia and are doing everything to destabilize country

ArmInfo.Georgia is a kind of guarantor of stability in the South Caucasus. If provocations start here, they become active, then with a domino effect everything can spread throughout the Caucasus, and the consequences will be  irreversible.

Georgian politician, diplomat, political scientist  Levan Pirveli said on RTVI during the discussions "The European Union  needs Georgia more than Georgia needs the European Union. Protests,  the law on foreign agents, the EU and NATO," speaking about the  situation around Armenia. Touching on the current processes, the  Georgian diplomat noted that today it is the West that is  destabilizing and arming Armenia. "And these actions of the West are  quite understandable, since Armenia itself can become an actor in  such provocative actions in the Caucasus if Georgia provides  logistics. And they were still confident that Georgia would  unquestioningly fulfill all the wishes of the West, including  military and military-logistical ones," the Georgian politician  noted.  At the same time, Pirveli expressed confidence that Georgia's  independent policy "interferes with the West's cards" in the region,  including military ones, since it will be more difficult for it to  undertake military provocations in the Caucasus.

To the remark that the Armenian authorities may look at all this  differently, Pirveli drew attention to the fact that Armenia can look  at all this however they want, but they must not forget that Yerevan  depends on Georgia.

To the request to assess Armenia's criticism and claims regarding the  CSTO, the Georgian politician drew attention to the fact that this  military bloc could not be involved in the processes around Nagorno-  Karabakh, since it did not have a mandate for this. "Note that  Armenia itself did not recognize the independence of  Nagorno-Karabakh, and the CSTO operates only on the territory of the  Organization's member states. And no one has touched Armenia yet. And  how the CSTO will theoretically act if Azerbaijan attacks Armenian  lands is another question. But what Nagorno-Karabakh can we talk  about when Armenia itself recognized these territories as  Azerbaijani," Pirveli asked.  At the same time, he believes that if  Armenia has so many claims to the CSTO, then why doesn't it leave the  Organization. According to him, the Armenian policy on this issue is  very strange, there are a ton of claims, and yet the country  continues to remain in the CSTO. He also called Armenia's statement  about freezing its membership in the CSTO absurd. "I can't imagine  such a concept. Can you imagine if some country suddenly announced  that it was freezing its membership in NATO? The same applies to the  CSTO," the Georgian politician said.

Referring to the protests in Armenia, Pirveli noted that there is  complete chaos in the country. "All the world's intelligence agencies  are working in Armenia today: Russian participation and influence are  visible, as well as French and American ones. All of them there, and  they are destabilizing Armenia. And we, in Georgia, observing this,  do not want to find ourselves in a similar situation. And I think  that the law on foreign agents in Georgia will contribute to this,  since all these intelligence agencies are represented through NGOs.  This has long been no secret to anyone," the politician noted, adding  that in Georgia they understand perfectly well that all this is the  result of the West's actions.  The politician believes that the West  wants to destabilize the South Caucasus, while simultaneously  creating a bridgehead against Iran. " Georgia understands all this  perfectly well. They need the Caucasus in complete submission," he  noted.

Pirveli once again emphasized that today Armenia is being  destabilized by anyone and everyone: some so that it begins preparing  for a future war with Azerbaijan, others so that this does not  happen. Therefore, the analyst believes, it is difficult to draw a  general picture today, but the processes are visible.
