Sarkozy Won’t Complicate Relations with Russia During Georgia Visit: Opinion

French President Nicolas Sarkozy will be in Georgia as part of a political tour and not specifically for Georgia, believes political analyst Ramaz Sakvarelidze.

“Accordingly we must assume that it is necessary for him, as a politician, to create an image that he can visit problematic regions and resolve certain issue. As he did before,” said Sakvarelidze.

According to the analyst, Sarkozy wants to show that not only is he the president of France, but also that he may intervene in all issues that arise in Europe’s environs.

“At the same time Sarkozy will not complicate relations with Russia. It’s not in its interests. I don’t think that the issue of the six-point agreement will be brought up again as a claim against Russia. Many analysts believe that Sarkozy will talk about the need to withdraw [Russian] troops [from Abkhazia and South Ossetia], but it won’t be a statement in terms of claims and demands. That is, Sarkozy will try to save the kebab as well as the skewer,” he said, reports Gruzya (“Georgia”) Online.
