"Georgia is recently concerned about the problems with Azerbaijan
that might lead to Azerbaijani-Georgian conflict," Haykazun Alvrtsyan
stated at August 18 press conference on Armenian-Georgian issues.

He considers Georgian Kvemo Kartli (in the essence North Lori region
of Armenia) is nearly fully inhabited by Azeris.

"The number of Borchalu Turks increased to the extent that soon
they will number as much as Tbilisi, Tsalka, Javakhk population and
shortly also Ardahan (region in Turkey). Turkey pressures Georgia
that jeopardizes Javakhk too," Alvrtsyan said.

According to the expert, Georgia carried out open-door policy for
Turks, ousting Armenians from those regions for decades. "Azeris
not only lays claims to this territory, but also speaks out
loudly. Georgians will be unable to offer rebuff to Turks," the
expert supposes.

Georgia is going to face the regular dismemberment and the hazard to
vanish form the world map.

"If Georgia loses Kvemo Kartli and Javakhk that links Turkey and
Azerbaijan, Armenia will be entirely locked. Georgia will deprive of
two vital military and economic regions, becoming a minor country. It
will have no chances of resuming influence as dominating country in
the region," Alvrtsyan concluded.
