The Georgian government wants to have a sovereign policy that responds to national interests and not be a pawn in the hands of the West, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with Russian media.
“The United States and the European Union are trying to put Tbilisi in a false dilemma: with us or against us. At the same time, the Georgian government seems to want to build a sovereign policy that responds to national interests and not be a pawn in the hands of the Westerners, who are pushing Georgia towards destabilization, economic problems and aggravation of relations with Russia. I have no doubt that the Georgian people understand everything and will move forward,” Lavrov noted.
Asked when the West would stop staging “color revolutions” on Russia’s borders, Lavrov replied: “You should ask Western politicians this question.”
"Interference in the domestic affairs of states, including our closest neighbors, has long been part of their foreign policy arsenal," Lavrov said
