The government’s every step aims at the great idea of Georgia’s unification. Everything we do serves our people’s interests,” said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.

The PM reminded Droa party leader Elene Khoshtaria that she lobbed the implementation of flights between Georgia and Russia before 2012 and spoke about the development of trade relations with Russia.

The PM went on to say that the former government did not impose any sanctions on Russia following the 2008 war, and ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili personally hosted Russian tourists at the state border.

These people are telling blatant lies to society today. This is an offensive attitude, and this opposition will remain worthless. What was acceptable for them is unacceptable now, where is the logic?” Garibashvili inquired.

Today, they say that due to the war in Ukraine, we should stop everything, worsen people’s conditions, do not think about economy and trade,” he said, adding the government-led “correct, pragmatic and national policy” served the best interests of people.
