📍"Without restoration of territorial integrity of the country, the development of the country will not be complete".
👉 This was announced by the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia at a meeting held with the Great Britain parliamentary delegation in the country's highest legislative body.
🔷 Great British parliamentary delegation is visiting Georgia under the leadership of Jonathan Janogli, who represents the inter-party friendship group on Georgian issues in the British Parliament.
🔷 At the meeting, Fridon Injia focused on the policy pursued by Great Britain in the last ten years, which was and is based on the national and state interests of the country.
🔷"It's not the first time we've met and it's very nice to meet you. You represent a country that, about 100 years ago, had half the world at its disposal. It is interesting and important that the country's interests are the first place for you. Here I am reminded of the year 1982, the Falkland Islands, which are located close to Argentina, when the question touched the territorial integrity of your country, then, practically, Argentina's attempt turned into Nazareth, and you were able to return the said islands back.
🔷 This was one of the rather principled examples where Britain, as a state, confirmed its state approach to the inviolability of the country's territorial integrity," Fridon Injia said.
🔷 The MP also emphasized the decision of the UK government to leave the EU, which, according to him, was also dictated by the interests of the country.
🔷 The chairman of the political group believes that Georgia's accession to the European Union is important in order to make the country more attractive, but it should happen on time, otherwise, the EU membership will lose its meaning for the country in the long run.
🔷 "Today, Georgia aspires to become a member of the European Union, and we hope that by doing so we will reach the level of development that your state has, for example. Whether we will succeed or not is another matter, but we want to join the European Union on time and not after ten years, as there are examples of other countries that have been waiting in line for ten years. In 10-20 years we may develop in such a way that we no longer want to join the European Union, just as you no longer want to join the European Union." - Fridon Injia addressed the members of the delegation.
🔷 According to the chairman of the political group, restoring the territorial integrity of the country remains the first and foremost task for Georgia. Without which, the development and progress of the country cannot be complete and full-fledged. Therefore, it is important for the country's government to find the right way and take effective steps to solve this problem.
🔷 "I am speaking before you as the chairman of the party "European Socialists". We are a left-wing political force and we are dissatisfied with the steps of the country's government, because the government does not do many things as it is in the country's interests.
🔷 To judge pragmatically based on the interests of the country, I believe that without the restoration of territorial integrity, the development of the country will not be complete. Today you, as a great power, support Ukraine. We also support Ukraine in all respects, but not as much as you. In principle, you have declared war on Russia. Because they are fighting in Ukraine partly with your weapons, your instructors are working there, your volunteers are there. You have fully used the sanctions. But the question is, what do they advise us to go to war with Russia?! ... Here, for example, we went to war in 2008, but we lost 22% of the country's territory, and today, depending on the interests of our country, we will have a war, just like you are at war with Russia?! Whatever you suggest, we want to get your advice. Should we fight like you, or should we talk to Russia?!" - said Fridon Injia at the meeting.
🔷 The members of the parliamentary delegation of Great Britain listened carefully to the statements and questions of the chairman of the political group, however, they did not give concrete answers at the meeting.
