The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya believes that no mediator will be able to protect the interests of Georgia on the world political arena better than the Georgian government. Based on this, "European Socialists" call on the Government of Georgia and the Prime Minister to start a direct dialogue with the Russian Federation. Fridon Indzhiya stated this on the live broadcast of Georgian Times radio.

 «I am telling the government that no intermediary will do your job. You have to talk to anyone in order to protect the interests of your country... You don't know on what conditions the dialogue was conducted with the mediator, where he invested his interests... It's been 13-14 years since the events of August 2008, and where have we progressed, mediators that - либо для нас? How much do we have to wait?» - said the deputy.

 Question: Why do "European Socialists" think that it's time for a direct dialogue with Russia, that you don't like the government and what's your position, why did you decide to address this idea to the government? You know, this position will cause indignation in part of the society, as the population at the time made a choice in favor of the West and the Euro-Atlantic path through a plebiscite. Now you say that it is time for dialogue with Russia, why is this necessary for Georgia as a whole?

 - Fridon Indzhiya: The situation of Georgia is takovo - it will survive or not. The political arena and the situation in the world are changing so quickly that we can find ourselves in a situation where the territory geographically exists, and Georgia and the Georgians, who have been so protected for centuries, no longer exist. You ask, do we need to talk with Russia, at the same time - NATO and the EU... Such a question is even uncomfortable, because NATO members themselves are talking with Russia, as well as Hungary, France, Germany... No other country will protect the interests of our country. так как это может дать грузин - человек, проданный Грузии. For more than a decade, we have hoped for a mediator, and we have not achieved anything, we are moving further and further away from the restoration of our territorial integrity. Разе вы не чувствуешь это? There is no person in Georgia who would say that Georgia is approaching the restoration of its territorial integrity. Friendship is one thing, and solving problems is another. Кто может другить, но не пойти на зворы ради тебя... For example, when Emmanuel Macron came to Russia and talked for 6 hours, how do you think he talked about Georgia? If we had an agreement similar to the one that Ukraine undertook and which was signed by Macron and the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, it would be a great relief for us. I turn to the authorities and say that no intermediary will do the work for you. If the mediator connects, he will first of all speak based on his interests.

 Question: In what format should a conversation be started with a country that has imperial intentions and has occupied a large territory of our country for decades?

- It's necessary to talk with anyone, to protect the interests of your country, you can't talk through someone, it's wrong... We don't know in what conditions the mediator conducted the dialogue, what he talked about, where he invested his personal interests. It's been 13-14 years since the events of 2008, in which we have progressed, have the mediators done anything for us? Nothing. And how much should we be in this waiting mode? The West has its own interests, I have its own interests, and I believe that the government of Georgia can best protect these interests, which it does not do.

 Question: The logic of the government is such that the desire of the population is a pro-Western course.

 - I can't confirm this, because the circumstances have changed a lot, and at the same time, nothing has changed in us for 13 years, let them ask the people now...

 Question: Do you propose to hold a referendum again?

 - Until the referendum, I believe that the interests of our country should be protected by our government without any intermediaries, as other governments that love their country do.

 The situation with Ukraine is much simpler, because they have an agreement. If she fulfills her commitments, to which almost all countries involved in the process urge her, the country will survive. First of all, I am interested in the restoration of the territorial integrity of my country, then there will be economic progress, peace and everything that we dream of, and for this I, as one person, will give everything... War does not suit anyone, and even Russia does not suit war ... France went to negotiations, first of all, with the aim of protecting its interests, so that nothing would affect it. Because nuclear weapons are a danger - such a danger that there will be no winners there. France is a big country, and its president, Emmanuel Macron, spoke for 6 hours. As for Germany, it is not yet known what they can negotiate with Russia. The entire world is divided, here China and Russia speak - NATO should not be expanded.

 Question: Who should meet with Putin?

 - The Prime Minister is, of course, the first person in executive power.

 Question: Do you say that the Prime Minister should go to Moscow to meet Putin?

 - Нет, я говорить - должен надрастися диалога. Whether it will be a direct visit or a video connection, let them decide for themselves, this is the prerogative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and negotiations. Today there is no alternative dialogue. Georgia is in a worse position than other countries - they have no problem with territorial integrity, but they still come and speak in the interests of their countries. First of all, we should speak because Georgia is in a worse position than they are.

 Question: From what initial positions should the negotiations begin?

 - Исключено очы мы дали примернимистриную рекоментация. In any case, dialogue is better than today's situation, when you don't know anything about what they think. We don't know anything and sit for decades, relying on intermediaries, hoping that they will sacrifice themselves for our sake..?

 Question: Was the government's reaction to your initiative followed? You are in the legislative body, you have the opportunity to talk with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose direct competence is to move these issues out of place. Do you think this conversation will start without Ivanishvili?

 - This is their decision... As for the contact with the government, I have not had any contact, even indirect, neither with me nor with the members of the political council of my party, and I am very interested in what their reaction will be. We proceed from the fact that today there is no alternative to the dialogue, and the dialogue must be led by a person empowered in the executive power of the country. Depending on what they will talk about and what conclusions they will come to, it will already be possible to discuss it at the level of the government, the parliament, if necessary, a referendum may be needed, no one knows... The situation changes almost every minute. For example, when you talk about the fulfillment of Ukraine's obligations, Poland, France and Germany gathered in Berlin and the first persons called on the government of Ukraine to fulfill their obligations. Этот вопрос самый важность, then no one has any claims to touch Ukraine in any way.

Fridon Injia, chairman of the European Socialist parliamentary group, believes that no mediator can better protect Georgia's interests in the world political arena than the Georgian government. Therefore, the "European Socialists" call on the Georgian government and the Prime Minister to start a direct dialogue with the Russian Federation. Fridon Injia made this statement during a live broadcast on the Georgian Times radio.

"I am telling the government that no mediator will do your job. You have to talk to anyone to protect the interests of your country… You do not know under what conditions the mediator spoke, where he put his interests. 13-14 years have passed since the events of 2008, in what have we moved forward, have the mediators done anything for us? "How long do we have to wait for this?" Said the MP.

Question: Why do the "European Socialists" think that the time has come for a direct dialogue with Russia, what do they dislike about the government and what are their positions, why did you decide to approach the government with this idea? You know, this will cause outrage in some parts of the community, because the population in its time made a plebiscite choice in the direction of the West and the Euro-Atlantic path. Are you saying now that the time has come for a dialogue with Russia? Why do we need Georgia as a whole?

- Fridon Injia: The situation in Georgia today is like this - will it survive or not. The political field and the situation around the world are changing so fast that we may find ourselves in a situation where the territory is geographical, but Georgia and Georgians, what we have had for centuries, are no more. You read how much we need to talk to Russia and at the same time NATO and the EU… Even such a question is inconvenient because NATO member states go to Russia and talk, the same Hungary, France, Germany… our interests as a Georgian man and a man dedicated to Georgia, Will not protect any country. We have been hoping for a mediator for a decade and we have not achieved anything, we are moving further and further away from restoring our territorial integrity. Can't you feel it? There is no person in Georgia who would say that Georgia is approaching the restoration of its territorial integrity. Friendship is one thing, but a solution is another. May be friends, but not for your sake… for example, I'm sure that when Emanuel Macron arrived and talked for 6 hours, do you think he talked about Georgia? Macron and the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, if we had such an agreement, it would be a great relief. I tell the authorities that no mediator will do the work for you. If the mediator starts talking, he or she will talk first, based on his or her interests.

Question: In what format should we start a conversation with a country that has imperial intentions and has occupied a large area of our country for several decades?

- I have to talk to anyone in order to protect the interests of your country, it is impossible to talk about someone else, it is wrong… You do not know under what conditions the mediator spoke, what he talked about, where he put his interests. Ager 13-14 years after the events of 2008, in what did we move forward, did the mediators do anything for us? Anything before we have to be in this expectation? The West has its interests, I have my interests and I believe that the Georgian government can best protect these interests, which it does not do.

Question: The logic of the government is that ordering the population is a pro-Western course.

– ამას ვერ გეტყვით იმიტომ, რომ ისე შეიცვალა მდგომარეობა, ამასთანავე 13 წლის განმავლობაში ჩვენთან არაფერი შეცვლილა, აბა, ახლა შეეკითხონ მოსახლეობას… დაელაპარაკე იმას, ვინც წყვეტს, შენ კი არა მსოფლიოს ყველა ლიდერი ელაპარაკება.

Question: Do you want to hold a referendum again?

- Before the referendum, I believe that the interests of our country should be protected by our government without any mediators, as the government of any country that loves its country does.

The case of Ukraine is much easier because they have a contract. If he fulfills his contractual obligation, which is called for by almost all the countries involved in this matter, the country will survive. First of all, I am interested in restoring the territorial integrity of my country, then there will be economic progress, peace and everything we dream of, and for that I, as one person, will give up everything ომი War is not good for anyone, Russia is not good for war… France arrived first In the interests of his country he came to not touch anything. Because nuclear weapons, it is a danger, such a danger that no one will be victorious there. France is a big country, and its president Emmanuel Macron spoke for 6 hours. As for Germany, one does not know what they can negotiate with Russia. The whole world is divided, here China and Russia say that NATO should not expand.

Question: Who should meet Putin? - The Prime Minister, of course, is the first person in the executive branch.

Question: You say the Prime Minister should arrive in Moscow with Putin?

- No, start a dialogue. It will be up to them, by video conference how, it's their decision, it's the prerogative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is no alternative to dialogue today. Georgia is in a worse situation than other countries - they do not have the problem of territorial integrity, but they still come and talk in the interests of their countries. We should talk first of all because Georgia is in a worse situation than them.

Question: With what data should the negotiations start?

- It is impossible to give a preliminary recommendation to the Prime Minister. In any case, dialogue is better than today knowing nothing about what they think. We know nothing, and we sit here for decades and rely on mediators that they will go and commit suicide for our sake ..?

Question: Was there any response from the government to the initiative you voiced? You have contact with the legislature, you have the opportunity to talk to the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose direct competence is to raise these issues. Do you think that this conversation will start without Ivanishvili?

- It's their decision… As for the contact, I have not had any contact, even indirectly, neither I nor the members of my party's political council, and I am very interested in what their response will be. We are coming out of the fact that today there is no alternative to dialogue, and the dialogue must be conducted by a person with the power of the executive power of the country. Depending on what they talk about and what conclusions they come to, then it can already be discussed at the level of government, parliament, if necessary, a referendum may be needed, people do not know… so the situation changes, almost every minute. For example, when you talk about Ukraine fulfilling its commitments, Poland, France and Germany gathered in Berlin on the 8th and the first persons received such a request from the Ukrainian government to fulfill its obligations. This issue is the most important, then no one will have a claim to touch Ukraine in any way.

 "European Socialists are pragmatic in every way, and they do not want to alienate foreigners," said Fridon Indzic.

 "Read, dialogue - this is the right way, we need to talk", - Avtandil Enukidze, Vice-Speaker of Parliament.

 After the meeting, Fridon Indzij and Avtandil Enukidze took part in press conferences in a supreme legislative body, where "European Socialists" addressed the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Garibashvili, and asked him:

 Fridon Indzhiy, chairman of the parliamentary group "European Socialists" responds to the question of the correspondent, does not suspect that the "European Socialists" and the Ukrainian government's answer to the question

 "What do you have in sight ...? They do not see any inconvenience when such parties, such as Poland, Germany, France, the USSR, claim Ukrainian power and the fulfillment of their obligations to themselves. We were arrested on January 26, after which a week passed, and in peace there was no other party involved in the process, which did not recognize Ukraine as a full-fledged envoy after the Minsk agreement. "I do not see any inconvenience here," shouted Fridon Indjija.

 After the speech of the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Avtandila Enukidze, in order to prevent aggression, we need a live dialogue.

 "After all, Ukraine does not understand the fact that Adeishvili's appointed deputy prosecutor is being ousted from the Georgian government?" Is it necessary, and what works, faithfully ..? And we necessarily have that name, oh what am I talking about. Я думаю, что вести диалог - то тольно. You need to talk, before you shoot at you. "I will see why the Dialogue is not firing, we do not hope, we will not be result-oriented, but you will give, I will speak, I will show the whole thing, I will dial the dialogue, and she will be a war," said Avtandil.

"The European Socialists are pragmatic in all matters that will not be detrimental to the country," Fridon Injia said.

"I think the dialogue is right, it is necessary to talk," - Avtandil Enukidze, Vice Speaker of the Parliament.

Pridon Injia and Avtandil Enukidze stated about it at the press conference held in the supreme legislative body, where the "European Socialists" addressed the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili on the need for a direct dialogue with the Russian Federation.

Fridon Injia, chairman of the European Socialist parliamentary group, said in response to a reporter's question whether the European Socialists were embarrassed when the Ukrainian government was called upon to implement the Minsk agreement.

"What do you mean?" . I do not see any inconvenience when such countries as Poland, Germany, France, the United States call on the Ukrainian authorities to fulfill their commitments. We announced this on January 26, after which a week passed and there was not a single country in the world left in contact with these processes that did not call on the Ukrainian government to fulfill its obligations under the Minsk Agreement. I do not see any inconvenience here, "said Fridon Injia.

According to the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia Avtandil Enukidze, it is necessary to hold a direct dialogue in order to prevent aggression.

"Why does Ukraine not feel embarrassed when the wanted Georgian government has Adeishvili as an assistant prosecutor? He needs it and he does it, right?… We need it that way. I think the dialogue is right. It is necessary to talk before you shoot. "You can see that he is throwing, there has been no dialogue so far, and we do not hope that it will work, but let's talk, show everyone that we wanted to talk, and that - war," - said Avtandil Enukidze.

Fridon Injia, chairman of the European Socialist parliamentary group, believes that there is no alternative to direct dialogue without a mediator.

Fridon Injia stated this at a press conference in the Supreme Legislature, where he addressed the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili on behalf of the "European Socialists" on the need for a direct dialogue with the Russian Federation.

"All intermediaries, even if we take commercial activities, first of all go out of their interests. The same is true in politics. There is no country that participates in the negotiations and does not put the interests of its country. "We are saying that we need to talk to the Russian Federation directly, and it is clear from the recent response of the United States and NATO that they are primarily concerned with their own interests," Fridon Injia said.

The chairman of the parliamentary political group believes that no one can ever protect Georgia's interests as Georgia itself.

"As the son of our country, no one can protect our interests. "Therefore, we must call on our government, our government, to be personally responsible and to protect the interests of the country, and this must happen without a mediator," - said Fridon Injia.
