Irma Inashvili, deputy chairperson of the faction "Georgian Alliance of Patriots", said that meeting with the Russian lawmakers in Duma was very important and the media did not pay attention to key issues.

According to Irma Inashvili, the idea of establishing a new, Georgia-NATO-Russia format emerged at the meeting of Georgian and Russian MPs . She notes that Georgia was constantly talking about direct dialogue with Russia and it was not possible to realize it.

"It was noted at the meeting that a direct dialogue between Tbilisi, Sokhumi and Tskhinvali will start. The second and the most important is that a new initiative emerged at this meeting. It is an initiative to create a format, a completely innovative, new format, Georgia-NATO-Russia. As you know, NATO is perceived as a threat by Russia and they constantly says that the territory of Georgia may be used for attack. That"s why new format will decrease the risks of these threats that the Russian side feels, " - Irma Inashvili said.
