Don’t repeat Putin’s approach, he was the first who wanted to divide people and authorities. Such a statement made the Chairman of the Parliament’s Foreign Relations Committee, when commenting on the tweet of MEP Viola von Cramon, who said that in case the EU grants Georgia candidate status, it will not happen because the Government and the ruling party have fulfilled all the 12 priorities, but because the Georgian people deserve it and geopolitical logic requires it.

“People don’t live on another planet, they are citizens of Georgia who have been electing Georgian Dream in 9 elections.

Accordingly, I think [Vladimir] Putin was the first who wanted to divide people and authorities after 2008, when he congratulated the Georgian people on the holidays, but did not congratulate the Government. This is his approach and please don’t repeat it”, - said Nikoloz Samkharadze.
