The United States is sponsoring construction of facilities in Georgia in preparation for a military conflict in Iran, a member of Public Assembly Georgian opposition movement, publicist Elizbar Javelidze has stated.
According to the expert, that explains why President Mikhail Saakashvili is roaming the republic opening new hospitals in its regions. “These are 20-bed hospitals…It’s an American project. A big war between the U.S. and Iran is beginning in the Persian Gulf. $5 billion was allocated for the construction of these 20-bed military hospitals,” Javelidze said in an interview with Kviris Kronika Georgian newspaper.
In addition, airports are being briskly built in Georgia and there are talks of constructing a port for underwater vessels in Kulevi on the eastern Black Sea coast in Georgia.
Javelidze believes the activities described are linked to the deployment of U.S. military bases on the Georgian soil. Lazika – one of Saakashvili’s mega-projects, a new city to be built from a scratch is designed as “an American military town”. According to the politician, “a secret airdrome” has already been erected in the town of Marneuli, southern Georgia.
All in all, about 30 new hospitals and medical centers were opened in the former Soviet republic in December last year. The plan is to build over a hundred more.
As for Lazika, the Georgian president announced his ambitious idea to build the second-largest city in Georgia, its western economic and trade center, at the end of 2011. According to the plan – which was slammed by his opponents and many analysts – Saakashvili’s dream-town will become home to at least half a million people within a decade, RT reported.
