My latest for @AlMonitor analyzes #UAE's business ties with #SouthCaucasus amidst ongoing political crisis in #Georgia.
"Business thrives on stability, however, and ongoing political uncertainty in Georgia remains a significant impediment", it argues.

UAE's South Caucasus ambitions challenged by Georgia crisis: What to know https://t.co/0YM3fuOFuE by @r_rahimov

[AL-MONITOR @AlMonitor]

The UAE, encouraged by its flourishing ties with Azerbaijan, has made inroads in its relations with Baku's strategic partner, Georgia — but the political crisis there is now proving to be a challenge, @r_rahimov writes https://t.co/0YM3fuPdkc

[Jamestown Foundation @JamestownTweets]

"A fundamental factor in #Moscow’s current view of #Georgia is the former’s lack of effective leverage over #Armenian-#Azerbaijani relations, especially following the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from the conflict zone."

"Any ceasefire or truce on the #Ukrainia front, especially with potential #Russia-#Georgia normalization, could indefinitely protract the #Armenia-#Azerbaijan peace treaty", argues my piece via @JamestownTweets.

@ralakbar That is precisely what the GD government wants - to provoke western partners to stop their programs in #Georgia.

Two domestic factors will primarily matter in turning 26th October elections into #Georgia’s watershed moment: whether citizens will flood to polling stations & maximize voter turnout & whether opposition parties will be able to overcome differences & unify ahead of elections.

[Rahim Rahimov @r_rahimov]

In the wider picture, focusing solely on the #Russia factor in #Georgia carries an adversarial effect. Doing so ultimately downplays the agency of Georgian society.

[Rahim Rahimov @r_rahimov]

Azerbaijani poem on #Georgia:
"...When I was walking
on the land of Georgia,
I saw a bloody spot
On the flag of the country.
When I asked the Georgians
About the meaning of the mystery,
They revealed to me suddenly
The mourning of the country... "

As EU courts #Armenia, Iran and US are bound to clash in South Caucasus https://t.co/GTQiMwCMJw tough diplomacy, as Yerevan seeks distance from Moscow, Tehran is ready to help with security, while economy and governance point to the West; can all cooperate?

[Rahim Rahimov @r_rahimov]

"Yerevan’s pivot to the West is a challenge for Tehran. But Iran kept mum on #EU-#US-#Armenia trilateral engagement. This raises a curious question of what lies behind the conspicuously unusual Iranian silence". Details in my latest for @AlMonitor.
