Do you think Georgian troops should be sent to Afghanistan?
Thursday, February 19
“It is good that Georgian troops will be able to gain experience, and also there is a high salary involved so our soldiers will be able to get a normal salary.”
Ana, student, 20
“Why should we send our troops to something which isn’t our war? We don’t have a big Army and our troops should stay in Georgia. We also have enemies.”
Manana, pensioner, 64
“I think it will be good experience for our troops. They will be able to brush up their fighting skills better there.”
Rati, bank employee, 25
“It is difficult to say whether we should send them to Afghanistan or not. If their redeployment in case of war in Georgia will be easy, why not? They will gain experience there and the salaries of soldiers who serve abroad are quite big.”
Nia, teacher, 37
“I am not sure if we have any blood to shed on foreign land. We need our troops here, in Georgia.”
Suliko, pensioner, 66
“Well, this is an issue which should be decided by the Government. I think if we want to be part of the world we should participate in world events.”
Jano, engineer, 45
“We need to develop our Army. I think being in Afghanistan will be a very useful experience for Georgian soldiers and benefit our Army.”
Sandro, student, 19
“By no means. I am categorically against this action. We should never be involved in other nations’ conflicts.”
Diana, nurse, 30
