According to Zourabichvili, Georgia has the ability to resist Russia.

"However, Russia is a border state, and it has very important military bases in the south, large bases in the occupied territories (of Georgia), as well as in Armenia. We are surrounded, but Georgia has the ability to show some resistance, because we have been in this strategic region for 26 centuries. We have been conquered by virtually all existing empires.
