Sergey Markedonov scientist of the USA Strategic and International Research Center said it is too early now to say goodbye to the present government. It is still strong in terms of the patriotic mobilization; weak opposition; strong support of the West. This is a short analysis of May 21-26 events.
At the same time he concluded that after the event in May deriving from the Saakashvili's emotional reaction and the cruelty of the riot police, present President will make every effort to retain the power at any cost. At the same time a very narrowed reaction of the Western embassies to the events contains some kind of danger.
The experience of the 2008 august war events showed the possibility of creating the illusion of support to the official Tbilisi by keeping the silence and absence of evident signals from Brussels and Washington.
He underlined that we should not be mistaken by the frequent visits of the opposition leaders to Moscow, the purpose of the opposition is namely the criticize of a government.
