In February parliament began discussions on a draft national security concept that will replace the one adopted in July 2005. The draft concept states that the main geopolitical threat that Georgia faces comes from the Russian occupation of parts of its territory and the risk of renewed military aggression by Russia. The draft also claims that Russia's aim is to derail Georgia's Euro-Atlantic aspiration and "forcibly return Georgia back into the Russian orbit". It goes on to say that the long-term aim of the Russian military intervention in 2008 was to end Georgian co-operation with the West and bring Georgia back into the Russian sphere of influence. In contrast, the concept of 2005 stated that there was little risk of open military aggression against Georgia, despite a threat of crossborder aggression from state and non-state actors. The new draft focuses on Georgia's relationship with the West, emphasising Georgian citizens' "firm will" to integrate into Euro-Atlantic structures, as well as the eventual goal of NATO and EU membership. It also describes Turkey as Georgia's leading regional partner. Finally, the draft concept mentions specifically the North Caucasian republics in Russia, stating that the establishment of an "atmosphere of co-operation and peace" in the North Caucasus is of special importance for Georgia. No timeframe has been set for the adoption of the new concept.
