Irma Inashvili, Vice-Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, has warned the ruling party of Georgia about the possible disastrous consequences of its policy
The deputy speaker of the Georgian parliament, one of the leaders of the opposition “Alliance of Patriots of Georgia” opposition party, Irma Inashvili, stated that the country should not join NATO.
For many years, Georgia’s foreign policy priorities have been joining NATO and the European Union.
“We must be realistic and protect the interests of our country. No platform can protect these interests as military neutrality”, – Inashvili said in the program “Free Vision” on Channel One.
So she commented on the words of the Executive Secretary of the ruling party “Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia”, MP Irakli Kobakhidze that joining the coalition with the Alliance of Patriots of Georgia after the 2020 parliamentary elections is impossible because of his attitude towards joining NATO.
She also warned the ruling party as a whole of the possible consequences of its policies.
“Once again I want to say to the “Georgian Dream” and its leaders – you are pursuing such a fateful policy that it’s not like a coalition that it can happen that you don’t find any partners in the daytime”, – said Inashvili.
The Alliance of Georgian Patriots insists on the need to establish relations with Russia to solve the country’s territorial problems.
Since the summer of 2017, deputies from this party periodically travel to Moscow to meet with members of the State Duma and senators of the Council of the Federation of Russia, however, on their own initiative. The stated purpose of travel is to establish bilateral relations. Their demands to give these trips official status were not satisfied by the Georgian authorities.
