You are wrongly connecting the decision regarding the activation of trade and traffic with the European future of our country - this is a wrong interpretation and wrong connection, said the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Gharibashvili, while talking about the restoration of air traffic with Russia.
According to him, government representatives have repeatedly announced that they do not plan to stop either trade or economy with Russia, because this will "damage the interests of the Georgian people."
As Garibashvili explained, Georgian citizens can move to Europe for 100 euros, according to him, this is thanks to Bidzina Ivanishvili and his team, Georgian Dream.
"I think that you are wrongly connecting the decision regarding the activation of trade and traffic with the European future of our country - this is a wrong interpretation and wrong connection, I will explain why. We have said more than once that we are not stopping trade and economy with Russia. Because it will harm the interests of our people. The second direction is the European integration of our country, in which no one has done more than our government in the last 30 years, no one. If anyone brought any results, it was Georgian Dream that brought them. Association, visa-free regime, if you can move freely in Europe for 100 euros, it is our merit. This is thanks to Bidzina Ivanishvili and his team, Georgian Dream," Garibashvili said.
As the Prime Minister noted, Georgia is not yet a member of the European Union and "it will take years."
"There will be no danger to anything. I will tell you that we are doing everything right, we are taking every step right. We explain to our European friends, I personally had a conversation and I explained to them the argumentation and our motivation. Friends, we are not a member country of the European Union. In order for us to be subject to EU member states and EU policies, we must be a member state of the European Union. Today we are not yet a member state of the European Union and it will take years. If someone has done something in the last ten years and in the last 30 years, it was done by Georgian Dream. Association, visa-free regime, free trade, European perspective, which no representative of your party could dream of. I'll tell you why, with a European perspective, our partners have actually recognized that the future of our country is in Europe, you should focus on that," Gharibashvili said.
