The delegation of chairs of the parliamentary committees on foreign relations from eight member states of the European Union is in Georgia on an official visit, but the government representatives refused to meet with them.
"The only place where there is no conflict is the cemetery - it's surprising to me when a member of parliament says to me, "I won't meet you because you don't agree with me", - Vice-President of the European Affairs Committee of the French National Assembly, Frédéric Pette said. He evaluated the fact that the "Georgian Dream" refused to meet with the delegation of the chairmen of the Foreign Relations Committee of the 8 EU countries.
According to him, this is "very disappointing".
"We want to say that Europe is a family. The European Union is a conflict management tool. Sometimes we can't agree. In Europe we sometimes have disagreements, but we work together. It's surprising to me that as a parliamentarian, a member of parliament tells me that "I won't meet you because you don't agree with me." For me, it is a complete rejection of what democracy means. The only place where there is no conflict is the cemetery. I'm not in a hurry to get there," said Ptte.
