格鲁吉亚反对派频挑战 政府坚持不“动粗”
环球时报特约记者宋华报道据路透社报道，格鲁吉亚今天向首都第比利斯附近的一个军事基地派出了坦克。政府称，该军事基地发生了叛乱。格鲁吉亚还指控俄罗斯出资支持了这一政变。
俄罗斯还未就此事件做出官方反应，目前还不清楚有多少人卷入发生在穆克奥瓦尼基地的叛乱事件，也不清楚叛乱事件的目的是什么。距第比利斯19公里的穆克奥瓦尼基地驻有数百名士兵。俄罗斯曾多次称，格鲁吉亚总统萨卡什维利试图找到分散反对派示威注意力的方法，格反对派正要求萨卡什维利辞职。
北约将于5月6日至6月3日在格鲁吉亚举行军事演习，以表示支持格鲁吉亚。来自十几个北约成员国和伙伴国家的1000多名士兵将在第比利斯以东的一个格军基地演练“危机反应”，该基地距俄罗斯在南奥塞梯最近的阵地只有70公里。俄罗斯总统梅德韦杰夫批评称，北约在格鲁吉亚举行演习的决定是一个错误的决定。他上周五称：“我想特别强调，决定所引发的可能的负面后果的责任将由那些作出并贯彻这些决定的人士承担。”
