Unfortunately, those who are angry with the government of Georgia have attacked Georgia and the Georgian people - they should look at all the authoritative evaluations and ratings and see where Georgia is, - Speaker of the Parliament Shalva Papuashvili told journalists about the Eastern Partnership Index.
According to him, the mentioned assessment has nothing to do with reality.
"I get the impression that these organizations, which are the authors of this assessment, are angry with the Georgian authorities and are attacking Georgia for this. This assessment has nothing to do with reality. It is not serious to discuss that Georgia lags behind Ukraine and Moldova. These organizations should look at the evaluations of the European Commission for example and see who is where in the direction of democracy. Also, they should look at all the authoritative evaluations and ratings and see where Georgia is," said Shalva Papuashvili.
For information, according to the Eastern Partnership Index published a few days ago, Georgia lost a significant place in the indicators of democracy, good governance and policy convergence and moved to the third place after Moldova and Ukraine.
