Georgia should be very careful, pay attention in every statement, in every action. No other country is in such a situation as Georgia is, because the opponent is 40 kilometers away. Moreover, Georgia has gone through two wars, as a result of which the country accepted the fact that 20% territories are not under the jurisdiction of Georgia.
This was announced by the Chairman of the Parliamentary Political Group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia at a meeting with members of the delegation of the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defense Subcommittee in the country's highest legislative body.
"We had two big wars in 30 years. At the beginning of the 90s, the population of Georgia was 5.5 million. Now the population of Georgia is about 3 million 700 thousand. At that time, 300,000 people found themselves outside of Georgia, and in 2008, 100,000 internally displaced persons were added to it. They were distributed in different countries of the world, including Ukraine, and today refugees from Ukraine are coming here to Georgia, and the government is doing everything to help them, which is confirmed by the latest information, according to which Georgia ranks first among 191 countries in terms of delivering humanitarian cargo to Ukraine," Friedon said at the meeting. Injiam.
"We know well what war means because we are direct witnesses of it. Therefore, our country needs to be very careful, careful in every statement or action. Moreover, Georgia has gone through two wars, as a result of which the people accepted the fact that the 20% territories are not under the jurisdiction of Georgia", Fridon Injia said at the meeting.
At the meeting with MEPs, attention was focused on judicial reform in Georgia. As Fridon Injia pointed out, if a country wants to be a democratic state, the judicial system in such a country should be fair and highly professional, which should meet international standards.
"It was no coincidence that out of the 12 candidates for the position of judge approved by the parliament, we, as representatives of the opposition party, supported only a few, because we considered that the rest of the candidates could not respond to the challenges facing the state," said Fridon Injia.
At the meeting held with the members of the European Parliament, the issue of Georgia's accession to the European Union was also discussed, on which Fridon Injia said that a big test awaits Georgia in this direction.
"Georgia faces a big test in connection with joining the European Union. The questionnaire, which has already been received by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will be a test of what Georgia is capable of and how we should accept this challenge," said Fridon Injia.
