Speaking about the Turkish-Georgian relations Russian politician
Vladimir Ivanov noted Turkey had serious reasons for arming Georgia.
The expert especially said: “Turkey is on the first place in Georgian
trade issue and wants to have its participation also in Georgian
military sphere. For example if Turks organize the classes for Georgian
officers they aim to form pro-Turkish staff.”
Commenting on the dangers for Armenia concerning this cooperation
Vladimir Ivanov said: “As many officers are educated in Turkey they
become pro-Turkish and start using Turkish formulas. And they also
support Turkish lobby in Georgia which can be dangerous for Armenia
in the future.”
