“We are clearly pro-European as a government, and we have evidenced it by our actions,” said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze in an interview with Euronews.
According to the PM, the government will continue to do its best to promote Georgia’s EU accession in the future.
“To be part of the European family is a kind of historic choice for Georgia and for Georgians. You know that we are a Christian nation and Europe was always associated with Christianity. It was defending it, protecting Christianity for Georgia.
So that’s why Europe was always a kind of natural choice for Georgia and for Georgians. And that is one of the, or the strongest reason, why we want to be a fully-fledged member of the European family.
[Being in] Europe also means a higher level of prosperity which means development for Georgians. So that’s why we are very much committed to this foreign policy priority of Georgia,” he said.
The PM remarked that “there is no space for manipulations from the opposition. “That’s their choice. That’s their job. That’s part of democracy,” he said.
Euronews will broadcast the in-depth interview with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze at 11 p.m. Tbilisi Time.
