🔹 “If we become a full-fledged state and really occupy the place in Transcaucasia that we should occupy, and we are able to implement a grand economic project, which involves a transit corridor with energy trains from Georgia to Europe through the Black Sea, Europe itself will accept us without any conditions. We must become necessary for Europe. Until we become necessary and acceptable for Europe, they will constantly impose conditions on us.”
🔹 The chairman of the parliamentary political group “European Socialists” Fridon Injia stated this on the live broadcast of the “Alt Info” TV station, in the “Alternative Vision” program.
🔹 “The project of energy trains is a project of such great importance that in case of its implementation, the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen will not only come to Azerbaijan, but she must come to Georgia, because we are Georgia, between Azerbaijan and Europe. And, if Azerbaijan is significant with its energy resources, of course it is important, but from the point of view of the supply of energy trains, we – Georgia – are literally the main conductor. So, if we wait, they will interview us. Because in other cases there will be such so-called “Pink-Ponky” game. “Unfortunately, the demands put forward by the European Union are directly related to the sovereignty and independence of Georgia, and this implies interference in internal affairs.”
🔹 “We have to continue our way. This is the path of independence, sovereignty,” said Fridon Injia.
🔹 In the program, the chairman of the political group once again drew attention to the issue of granting the status of a member state of the European Union to Skartvelo and noted that Georgia is practically already a candidate country with the official application that the Georgian government has already made.
🔹 “Personally, as a citizen of Georgia, this is how I would look at this issue. I think that we are already a candidate country for the EU membership, because we submitted the official report according to the established procedure, and now they have to decide whether they will accept us in the EU or not. They should see what we are doing, what the legislation is like, we make various decisions that are in the interests of Georgia. It should be up to them whether such a state wants to join Europe or not.” – said Fridon Injia.
🔹 The chairman of the political group believes that Georgia should, of course, receive certain benefits from the European Union. It will be financial opportunities, technologies or something else that will not interfere with “Georgia’s identity, independence, sovereignty”.
🔹 “If we continue the policy that we have today, in particular, a more or less independent policy based on the interests of the state of Georgia, because we are not yet completely independent and we are still dependent on the International Monetary Fund and other financial organizations of the world, but we can fulfill the role of an independent player. A role as Turkey does, even though Turkey is a NATO member country, but it acts out of state interest to see its profits. It is with such a realistic and pragmatic policy that Georgia will be able to regain the role of a leading country in Transcaucasia as it was historically and become a necessary and attractive country for everyone”, said Fridon Injia.

In this regard, Georgia is one of the strategic partner countries for China. China always supports the independence and sovereignty of Kazakhstan.

It is also important to implement infrastructural projects in the field of logistics, which will greatly improve the direction of logistics in your country.” – said the ambassador.

🔹 According to the chairman of the political group, “According to the new change in the code of conduct, up to 70% of the election process will be conducted by electronic system. Therefore, it is important to have a special control of the election process at the polling stations up to 30%, Tu above 30%, because it is in this part that the greatest danger of election fraud is present. Therefore, it is necessary to have a special approach to this specific situation in order to avoid fraud.”
