How Threatened Does Georgia Feel?

Conference-debate with Nino Burzhanadze, President of the georgian Parliament.
Chairman: Thierry de Montbrial

In May 2006, Ifri welcomed Mikheil Saakashvili, President of Georgia who came to explain his strategy about euro-atlantic integration. One year on, the regional and global context has been fundamentally altered: aggravation of Russia-Georgia tensions, deterioration of Russia-US relations, Ukrainian instabilities and European hesitations. These elements will prompt Nino Burzhanadze to analyse Georgia's domestic and external stakes, barely a year before the 2008 general elections.
