The announcement that Turkiye’s Baykar Makina has established a local subsidiary, Bayraktar Teknoloji Azerbaijan LLC, to produce unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Azerbaijan is far more than a business story—it is a bold statement about strategic autonomy, technological collaboration, and regional security. Located in the Sumqayıt Industrial Park, under the management of the Development Agency of Economic Zones, this facility marks the first step toward an indigenous UAV production capability in Azerbaijan, a nation that has increasingly relied on drones as a decisive tool in modern warfare.
The Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) Georgian service reports that the Georgian Ambassador to the U.S., Tamar Taliashvili, was summoned to the U.S. State Department in protest of the statements made by the head of the State Security Service, Mamuka Mdinaradze, during his TV interview.
During that interview, Mdinaradze said, ‘the embassy of one country in Thailand’ had “people in Georgia who are funded for anti-Chinese purposes” but these funds, he alleged, were almost fully used to support “radicals against the government, for revolutionary purposes.” Identifying the source, he later said
“This is how American taxpayer money is being spent.”
RFE quotes the spokesperson of the U.S. Embassy in Georgia, “We are deeply concerned that the high-ranking officials of the Georgian government are irresponsibly spreading false information, which caused the campaign of intimidation, based solely on false information.” The quote is back-translated from Georgian, pending the original quote.
Protest timed to local elections in Georgia
A protest rally linked to the local elections is taking place on Tbilisi’s main avenue, with students from Tbilisi State University among those joining. Demonstrators have blocked Rustaveli Avenue and Freedom Square.
The ruling Georgian Dream party and two opposition parties running in the elections are urging people to vote. But the organisers of the rally, along with parties boycotting the vote, are calling on citizens to come to the protest instead of going to the polls. The elections are going ahead even though opposition leaders are in jail. Six opposition figures – virtually all those who played an active role in the protest movement – remain in custody.
A stage has been set up on Freedom Square, with further events planned there. The main part of the demonstration will take place outside Tbilisi City Council.
Protesters are carrying placards with images of political prisoners, along with Georgian, EU and US flags.
Banners at the rally read: “Blocking the European path is a crime,” “The Georgian Dream gang must leave Georgia,” and “On 4 October the regime will fall on Rustaveli Avenue.” Demonstrators are chanting: “Until the end.”
Paata Burchuladze, founder of the Rustaveli Avenue movement and one of the rally’s organisers, said there were heavy traffic jams at the Rikoti Pass, so they were still waiting for residents of western Georgia to join the protest. According to him, today will see the first National Assembly, at which a declaration will be adopted.
“Today we are set to adopt a declaration at the first National Assembly in Georgia’s history. We will adopt the declaration, take power into our own hands and pay a visit to the usurper Ivanishvili along with his wealth. This day must, and already has, become historic. Because of the heavy traffic at the Rikoti Pass, we will start a little later to wait for people from western Georgia,” Burchuladze said.
Today marks the 311th consecutive day of protests in Georgia. Citizens have been taking to the streets every day with the same demands: new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners.
Alongside the planned protest in Tbilisi, Georgian emigrants are holding demonstrations in cities around the world in a show of solidarity. A rally has already taken place outside the Georgian embassy in Stockholm. Georgians are also gathering in Berlin, Cologne, Amsterdam, Sydney and other cities.
