Results of elections in Georgia: view from Baku and Yerevan

Past presidential elections in Georgia remain one of the most discussed topics in the South Caucasus. The events are closely monitored in the neighboring republics. Vestnik Kavkaza asked renowned experts of Azerbaijan and Armenia about what is going to change with the election of the new president.

An Azerbaijani politician, a deputy of the Azerbaijani Parliament Rasim Musabekov, believes that the new president will not introduce any big changes in the foreign policy of Georgia.

He noted that Azerbaijan has already established working relations with the current government of Georgia. "I think that in any case the continuity of partnership between Azerbaijan and Georgia will be secured and maintained," the deputy said.

Musabekov also said that the new president has not yet shown himself as a politician.

An Armenian expert, director of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan also noted that the new president will not introduce any significant changes in the highest political establishment and foreign policy of Georgia. At the same time he is convinced that Georgian-Armenian relations will remain more or less the same.
