You know that we are a Christian nation, and Europe was always associated with Christianity. It was defending it, protecting Christianity for Georgia, said the Prime Minister of Georgia in an exclusive interview with Euronews.

“Europe was always a kind of natural choice for Georgia and Georgians. “And that is one of the, or the strongest reason, why we want to be a fully-fledged member of the European family. [Being in] Europe also means a higher level of prosperity, which means development for Georgians. So that’s why we are very much committed to this foreign policy priority of Georgia”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.

Responding to the question on the controversy about Russia’s involvement in the political process in Georgia like Moldova, he said: “I can say that Russia is not influential in Georgia. There are no political parties where they would enjoy their influence. There is no influence from media channels with their influence. So that’s why the Russian side cannot influence the elections in Georgia, essentially”.
