The Javakhq issue will also escalate. Many Armenians live in this area of Georgia. If until recently, it was possible to prevent separatist unrest thanks to Yerevan&#8217;s actions, then in the case of a Georgian-Azerbaijani confederation, Yerevan will lose interest in the issue of maintaining stability in Javakhq. Furthermore, the creation of a confederation also implies the existence of a joint army, and must we speak of the military threats, before which Georgia and Azerbaijan will stand, with Russia on the opposite side? Baku, through a strategic contract, is also connected to Ankara, and in any case of error, there will be problems in the region. There&#8217;s also the factor of Azerbaijan&#8217;s diaspora, which is perceived only by Baku. While its [Azerbaijanis&#8217;] integration into Georgian society is ruled out. The confederation idea would&#8217;ve been important if with its assistance, it would be possible to resolve regional issues, but nothing will change from a Baku-Tbilisi alliance. Naturally, Yerevan joining is currently excluded,&#8221; said Zakareishvili.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First of all, under these conditions of Nagorno-Karabakh&#8217;s&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10,5],"tags":[10265,14514,10256,14523,14524],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44472"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44472\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
