PanARMENIAN.Net - There are people in Russia, who think that if Georgia has more problems it will easier pursue the policy due to "divide and rule" principle, leader of Russian Union of People for Education and Science
Vyacheslav Irgunov stated when commenting on Tbilisi's attempts to present Turkey as a true ally and accusing Russia of stirring up national hostility. In his words, Georgia itself creates plenty of problems on its territory and the tension in respect to Armenians is the result of the policy pursued by the Georgian authorities, who do not allow them to receive proper education and feel as citizens of Georgia. "The same problem is with the Ossetians, whose representatives were dismissed from the state posts. As result majority of Ossetians abandoned Georgia. Georgians cannot solve national problems. Unless Georgians learn to treat other nations as equals, nothing positive will happen", leader of Russian Union of People for Education and Science stated.
