What do you think the real motives of the confrontation between the Georgian President and his former ally Irakly Okruashvili are?
sam 29 September, 2007, 09:39 Simple,Power nothing but power.Typical case off suppression of opposition.now the funny part.This is not drawing critism from the USA and EU with little coverage in the media here.Again a typical case of double standards. the government in Georgia is pro west so again see no evil,hear no evil speak no evil on the side of the west.We did not get peace from the media and governments in the case of mugabe in far far way land.Then again Mugabe is not a friend of UK and US

Dino 29 September, 2007, 13:35 "If" the guy is guilty of what the Gov. is accusing him of.the Dude has a great strategy for creating sympathy for his cause. Thats is this: If you know the Government is coming after you real crimes.DON'T run but turn yourself in.NOT to the authorities but the MEDIA and be the first to LAY BLAME at the Gov over every media outlet and then when you are arrested (If Guilty to begin with) its looks like a HUGE conspiracy.BRILLIANT!

Margo 29 September, 2007, 15:55 I hope that our Georgian friends realise soon enough what terrible mistake they have been forced into and find the way to deal with this "president" the way he deserves.

Margo 30 September, 2007, 12:21 Dmitri, I don't see what has Russia to do with this Okruashvili case?? I believe that the real enemy of Georgia pretends to be its best friend and is very, very far away from Russia, let's say across the Atlantic?. All the problems between Georgia and Russia in the last months haven't been triggered by Russia and even the EU had to recognise this. Wouldn't it be much better for both Georgia and Russia - who are neighbours and shared over 300 years history together - if they could be good friends and get along well, instead of being forced into enemity by those who have every interest to keep them one against each other?

Sullivan 30 September, 2007, 12:37 Leave this "poor country" alone? You can't be serious. Georgia's corrupt political classes have made the decision to make their nation a client state of the United States, and are paying the price through the inevitable internal strife that goes with corruption and stupid decisions. Your attempts to portray Georgia as a victim are laughable. I seem to recall that in the past Georgia was the source of many of Russia's problems. Stalin, Beria. Need I say more?

Finlander 30 September, 2007, 14:46 Okruashvili is just another offended and ambitious guy craving for power. The only difference between Saakashvili and Okruashvili is that the former is a protégé and placeman of Washington while the latter seems to be in "pure" opposition.

Sevodnya_Net 30 September, 2007, 18:56 It's obvious what the motives for the confrontation are but what is more interesting would be to know the motivation for Mr Okruashvili's accusations and where they came from.- I know that Okruasavili's accusations are false, although it may not have been the wisest move to have him arrested so quickly. Mr Saakashvili was relaxed enough about the situation to fly to Marseille to watch the Georgian rugby team this afternoon :-)

Dino 1 October, 2007, 04:29 All I know is that if Russia and Georgia "DON'T" settle there differences before the winter Olympics in Sochi, its going to look bad for Putin and his bunch with a war going on well within rocket range from Georgia area. Not going to play well for GOOD advertising for Russia.

Margo 1 October, 2007, 08:21 Sevodnya, yesterday I read about mr Saakashvili's plans to escape from Georgia. Maybe because he is so innocent of what he is accused of? Or, perhaps, because people in Georgia are so happy with him?.

Sevodnya_Net 1 October, 2007, 12:48 I don't think Mr S is going to be leaving for a while - especially now sadly Georgia is eliminated from the rugby :-) The Russian president seemed to imply yesterday that he thought Georgian deomcracy was a bad idea (all those public protests - ugh). Yet another rather honest and revealing remark from him, I thought.

fred 1 October, 2007, 18:16 margo . sakashvilli is guilty of nothing . he is a true democrat . at the beginning of his presidency , the french president (chirac) left a high-rank official from georgian origin working for the french state to go back to georgia for helping devellop democratic ideas . the women (i don't remenber her name !) said after a while " Mr sakashvilli has a weird conception of what is democracy" did he listen to her advises ?? No , off course , he fired her and tried to expell her on the ground she was working (theoraticly ) for a foreign state .!!

The Director 1 October, 2007, 19:30 This feud shows corruption right at the top of Georgian Politics. These people should focus on taking the country forward instead we now see a murky side of the real Georgian political system. Things have to improve in Georgia.

IP 3 October, 2007, 11:29 Irakly's accusations were too serious to be ignored and his arrest definitely shows a lack of democracy in Georgia. In any democratic country these kind of accusations wouldnt have gone unnoticed like they were in Georgia. This shows that totalitarian regime, crime and corruption are still present in Georgia and any other country dealing with it (including USA) should think twice. It does looks like a lawless uncontrollable state.

Sevodnya_Net 3 October, 2007, 14:58 Well, Okruashvili's accusations hardly went unnoticed, did they? They were covered on Georgian TV, for a start. Hardly something you'd expect to happen in a "totalitarian" state.
