Georgia’s participation in achieving the coalition goals against terrorism will be reached at a high political level, - the Georgian Defense Ministry states.

The Ministry has released the statement in response to a “Foreign Policy” article saying Georgia has offered the USA to train Syrian rebels in Georgia.

‘’Georgia, as a strategic partner of the United States of America and one of the most NATO interoperable countries, is considering the ways to contribute to the goals of anti-ISIS coalition in the fight against terrorism. Alongside the international partners and the coalition members, different ways are under discussion to neutralize the terrorist threats endangering peace and security in the region and its democratic development. None of the options discussed together with the allied countries envisage deployment of the Georgian army units in the war zone. A final decision will be reached at the highest political level.’’ - The statement says.

Archil Gegeshidze tells “Foreign Policy” that Georgia Offers to host Training Camp for Syrian Rebels.

As per the American edition, Georgia has offered to host a training facility for the Syrian rebels as a part of the U.S.-led war against the Islamic State militants in both Syria and Iraq, according to an American administration official.

If accepted, the offer could supplement the White House's existing plan to train 5,000 Syrian rebels in Saudi Arabia in the next year to fight against the extremists now controlling swaths of both Iraq and Syria. It would also significantly elevate Georgia's role in the anti-Islamic State coalition as the United States and other Arab allies begin conducting airstrikes against militant targets in Syria.

[The training center] was something we offered, but is still under consideration," Georgian Ambassador Archil Gegeshidze told “Foreign Policy”.

The potential scale of the Georgia-based training program remains unclear, but Gegeshidze noted that it could host anti-IS fighters from multiple countries, not just Syria. "It's a counterterrorism training center for any nationality," - Gegeshidze said.

In closed-door meetings, Georgian officials made the offer to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on his visit to the country's capital of Tbilisi in early September. During the trip, Georgia became the first country to sign onto the anti-IS effort outside of the "core coalition" of Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Italy, Poland, and Denmark. - Says “Foreign Policy”.

The Pentagon declined to say whether the Georgian proposal had been accepted or to offer a timeframe for when a decision would be reached.
