According to the position of the president, the Georgian people deserve the status of a candidate for the European Union, because she has been serving European values for 30 years.
The President Zourabichvili said that a strategic decision should be made regarding the granting of the EU membership candidate status to Georgia, and Georgia should not be refused a second time.
The conversation touched on the war in Ukraine, the security environment in the region and the importance of the Black Sea security issue.
It was noted that the issue of opening a second front in Georgia is only organized by Russia, which not only carried out aggression on Georgia in August 2008, but has been doing so for the second century.
