Gorbachev goes on tour in Georgia

Mikhail Gorbachev, who next year will celebrate 80 years back in the saddle. And the jumps, that is going to Georgia. Yes not one, but have plenty of company with former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Secretary of the same U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry. The result is a peculiar trio “former”. It is noteworthy here, and the fact that Condoleezza Rice when he was Secretary of State has established itself as a supporter of the most hard-line stance on the U.S. attitude toward Russia. Largely due to its activities and the Obama administration needed a “reset” of relations with Russia (which, incidentally, while not particularly clear).

On the one hand, the trio looks strange, but on the other - it is quite logical. After Mikhail Gorbachev in his time with such ease she took the position of the USSR to the West that was quite obvious - the one dearer to him homeland.

September 7, through a tour of post-Soviet countries, will arrive in Batumi, a former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Secretary of Defense William Perry, said the resource “News of Georgia.” In Batumi, they will talk and meet with representatives of government and business circles. From Batumi Gorbachev, Rice and Perry will travel to Baku. They travel to several countries of the former USSR and Turkey, and give lectures and participate in discussions.

On the role of Gorbachev in the company indirectly says a review in the United States Ambassador to Georgia John Bass: “Despite the fact that Condoleezza Rice is no longer the U.S. Secretary of State, this visit is very important. She will visit Georgia on a private visit, but as far as I know, she come with a fairly large delegation, “- he said. And all of Gorbachev - not a word. That is, his role here - “sewn-pristebay. Or on the side of sunshine “, if someone is so fond of anymore.

If the first (and last) Soviet President thought about this concept, as propriety, perhaps, would have realized that such a travel company he has not stuck, and yes even to visit a country whose leadership is conducting a fierce anti-Russian policy.
