In an exclusive interview with Euronews, held in Budapest, Georgian Dream (GD)’s Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili rejected the notion that the GD government was turning away from the EU and tilting more towards Moscow.
According to her, the situation is not "black or white", and said, "If somebody wants to make an easy negative impression about somebody, it is easier to claim that somebody is pro-Russian or pro-Putin."
"Georgian Dream party has been in power for 12 years now. And in this period, nobody can find anything that this government has done in favor of Russia," Botchorishvili said.
She reiterated that Georgia has a clear policy on its support for Ukraine and emphasised that the government signed the Association Agreement with the European Union in 2014, which aimed to deepen its economic and political ties to the EU.
Botchorishvili said that for the past ten years, Georgia has shown its "commitment" and "shared values" with its European partners.
