Well.. I am a Georgian and had a chance to skim through the correspondence and want to point out couple of things... 1. Well.. We Georgians and Armenians definitely are not brothers and our lives has been accompanied by a permanent competition that quite often caused a lot problems... 2. I also recognize that from time to time we Georgians were not right towards other nationalities and there are a number of issues that really need my country men to reconsider. 3. When Armenians often compain on the bad things that Georgiansdid they must always remember about Bagramian Batalions who massacred Georgians (but as a Georgian I do not identify Armenians with the fighters of Bagramyan batlion). 4. And the final point... I do not think that it is fair towards us to say that we did not help Armenians. During the Azeri war If we had had announced a blockade how would u had expected to refuel the tanks that fought in K. This is in response to some postings that considered friendship btwn Geos and Arms as less plausible than friendship btwn Azeris and Arms. BUT THE IMPORTANT POINT - We must try to find the positive sides and improve relations based on them. Personally what applies to me I never had any problem with getting along Armenians were it to be in Georgia, Armenia or Karabagh and I am genuinely thankful to all Armenians whom I met during my numerous trips would it be in A. or K. (here i was once)...

Just would like to add that Sarishvili's rating is less than 1 percent and she is the one that is considered as an agent of Russia both by the Gov. and opposition that rallied around Okruashvili. As regards to the problems, yes they exist, but unlike Georgia of the early 90's the country is definitely much stronger and in terms of democracy much ahead as compared to some of the neighboring countries who genuinely wish to bring in democracy to Georgia...
