“In my opinion, the military service has more and more influence on the US foreign policy. This is a new phenomenon connected with Trump presidency. This will be reflected also in our region”, told Turkologist and Orientalist Ruben Safrastyan.
Particularly, as he noted, NATO’s military exercises in Georgia on July 30, are a part of a larger plan of military exercises which will take place along the whole basin of the Black Sea with the inclusion of dozens of thousands of soldiers: “The US pays a greater attention to the basin of the Black Sea. With this regard, the role of Georgia becomes more important to the US, forasmuch as Georgia has an access to the Black Sea.”
The expert called unprecedented the fact that in parallel with suchlike military exercises, the Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence was in Georgia.
