Western countries would like to turn Georgia into another “stimulus” for Russia, said the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with the Russian media.
“that Georgia would like to turn into another stimulus, to return the situation to those” Saakashvilivsky “, aggressive times, I have no doubt,” the Russian minister assures. According to him, the West tried and tries to turn Georgia into “anti-Russia”.
The Russian minister recalled that in the zero years of the Russian Federation and Georgia discussed the creation of a joint anti -terrorism center in Georgia on the territory of one of the former Russian military bases. “When the bases were withdrawn, when we performed our part, Saakashvili categorically refused to create this center …”, – said the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“I do not want someone to think that I want to compromise this government with positive words about what it does, but I will just quote both the prime minister and its ministers, who in response to unprecedented pressure from the requirement to join the sanctions, to open a second front, even such a terminology has become in progress. They say, you know, we are guided by our national interests: we have trading with Russia, we have tourism, we receive energy, and this meets the interests of the Georgian state and this is in the interests of the Georgian state and this Georgian people, ”the minister said.
