In the last 10 years we have not done anything at the expense of our sovereignty, our territory integrity or our national interests. So we’re doing everything for our people, said the Prime Minister of Georgia during a panel discussion on the sidelines of the Paris Peace Forum.

“I want to once again reiterate and confirm that Georgia is interested in maintaining peace and stability. We are absolutely confident that we will be able to achieve de-occupation of our territories step-by-step, through our prudent, but, I would say the word careful, but wise policies. This is the only choice that Georgia right now has. I want to underline one more thing. In the last 10 years, more than 10 years, we have not done anything at the expense of our sovereignty, our territory integrity or our national interests. So we’re doing everything for our people. We’re doing everything what’s best for our people, what’s best for our future. Two years ago, we successfully mediated, I would say, this was one of the first mediation precedent that we created together with Prime Minister Pashinyan and President Aliyev, when Azerbaijan released 15 detainees through Georgian mediation , Armenia gave the maps for the mined territory.

Therefore Georgia is capable of achieving these results. I think trust here is crucial because when somebody Is offering mediation, this mediator should to be trusted from both parties. If there’s no trust there’ll be no successful mediation. And one more thing I said in Davos this February or this January is that maybe the parties don’t trust each other but there should be cooperation. Without cooperation, without negotiations, without peaceful dialogue there’ll be no peace”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
