The Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili stated during his speech at the summit of the Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe that Georgia is steadily moving forward and the country’s goal is to join the European Union.
“Today, we are facing one of the most important challenges in Europe, which is Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, which violates the UN, Helsinki, and other declarations. Georgia firmly supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. We remember the full-scale war we had with Russia in 2008. We suffered a huge loss in terms of lives and occupation of 20% of our territories. Georgians know very well the price of war and the price of peace,” stated Garibashvili.
He spoke about Georgia’s aspiration to join the European Union.
“We are progressing in different directions, joining the European Union is our target. We have applied to join the European Union, and this is the great goal of our country and our nation. As you well know, we received a European perspective, thus proving that our future is in the European Union. We are steadily moving forward and our future goal is to join the European Union. We are moving towards this goal and direction, and we are implementing all twelve recommendations in order to obtain candidate status,” said the Prime Minister.
