Russia"s political strategy and attempts to ruin the Anaklia port project - the Kremlin threat and open resistance to Georgia"s NATO membership, followed is followed by the sharp criticism from Georgian opposition parties.

Sergey Lavrov"s office states that Georgia"s NATO membership is disastrous.

Salome Samadashvili, one of the leaders of the National Movement says that instead of stopping negotiations with Russia in various formats, the government continues meetings in existing formats.

According to him, Russia tries to solve strategically important issues with the help of the Georgian authorities.

"With the help of the present government of Georgia, Russia tries to disrupt the Anaklia port project - it"s in their strategic interests. Karasin, in fact, has once again pointed to our country that this is a red line for them as well as NATO membership, "said Salome Samadashvili.

Abashidze-Karasin meeting was held yesterday.
