Foreign interference, biased attitude and disrespect from our international partners are unacceptable. Such a statement made today the Minister of Foreign Affairs, while talking about the visiting delegation of parliamentarians from European Union member states, led by Lithuanian MP Žygimantas Pavilionis.

“Our Government values its partnerships, but these relations must be based on mutual respect, with an understanding of the challenges Georgia faces that have led to certain legal reforms.

We remain committed to constructive dialogue, I am confident that individuals who interfere in the internal affairs of the country in a kind of a blatant manner would realise this is not an acceptable form of relationship. Georgia had a number of foreign partners who are receptive to dialogue and open to listen to the country’s perspectives”, - said Ilia Darchiashvili.

He also expressed confidence that politicians making “unrealistic demands or claims” would “eventually recognize the need for a dialogue”.

“The opposition has new ultimatums every day - it will be difficult for us to follow them in this dynamic. We would like everyone to think rationally. Statelike thinking, actions based on the interests of our country are necessary for our country, and I am sure the politicians who today, in this artificially created conjuncture, make various types of demands or incomprehensible claims to our country and the Government, will sooner or later understand this and sit down at the dialogue table, which is necessary to implement useful policies for the country”, - said the Minister.
