Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at a government meeting said that Georgia, and only then Ukraine and Moldova, deserves the status of an EU candidate. This is reported by “Georgia Online”.
According to him, Georgia has earned this status on the path of reforms implemented over the past 9 years.
“Let’s wait first what the decision will be. If this belongs to someone, then belongs to Georgia, and only then to Ukraine and Moldova. When they say that Ukraine is at war, and therefore it should be granted status, I sorry to be granted if the provision of status is determined by the war, we do not want war, friends. We demand a well-deserved status that the Georgian people have earned their 30-year-old struggle on the path of building democracy and on the path of reforms carried out over the past 9 years. We ask only this, I said This is publicly, both in Davos, and in Bratislava, and in Brussels. We do not ask for anything special and undeserved, we ask for a well -deserved status.
If this decision is not fair, of course, we, accordingly, as I said, will explain everything in detail to our population, people, fellow citizens, what were the main reasons why the shameful resolution was adopted, ”said Irakli Garibashvili.
As reported, Georgia and Moldova submitted an application for membership in the EU on March 3, after Ukraine. In Georgia, the expectation of the EU response occurs against the backdrop of violent discussions and reproaches between the authorities and the opposition.
