摘要

格鲁吉亚国防部长西哈利利兹说，这个星期有消息说，格鲁吉亚政府在5月5日挫败了一场可能由俄罗斯支持的兵变，这证明俄罗斯企图“扰乱北约演习，并在军事上推翻格鲁吉亚当局”。对于Zviad Dzidziguri等反对派领导人来说，整个事件是总统米哈伊尔·萨卡什维利(Mikheil Saakashvili)政府捏造的“又一场舞台表演”，目的是败坏国内反对派的声誉。信息仍在不断增加，但确定真相可能很困难，因为双方都有足够的证据来提出一个相当令人信服的案例。毕竟，在高加索地区，政治阴谋是一项地区性运动。

Georgia's mutiny mystery

According to Georgian Defense Minister David Sikharulidze, the news this week that the Georgian government had thwarted a presumably Russian-backed mutiny on May 5 was evidence that Russia had engaged in an attempt at "disrupting NATO exercises and overturning the [Georgian] authorities militarily." For opposition leaders such as Zviad Dzidziguri, the whole affair was "yet another stage show" concocted by President Mikheil Saakashvili's government to discredit the country's domestic opposition. Information is still becoming available, but determining the truth is likely to be difficult because both sides have enough evidence to present a fairly convincing case. This is, after all, the Caucasus, where political intrigue is the regional sport.
