Georgian Parliament official claims Brussels policy aims to channel Russian aggression toward South Caucasus, particularly Georgia

The policies pursued by Brussels are driven by an interest in redirecting Russia’s aggression toward the South Caucasus, particularly Georgia, which makes it impossible to speak about normalising relations in the near future, said on Monday the First Vice Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Giorgi Volski.

In his remarks, Volski noted that Brussels was applying double standards in its approach to Georgia, basing its policy on interests rather than an objective assessment of the situation in the country.

He added that Brussels’ policy was not grounded in a solid assessment of the situation in the country or in a realistic analysis of development.

“Brussels’ policy is not grounded in solid foundations related to the real situation in the country or a genuine analysis of development. All of this stems from an interest in directing Russian aggression toward the South Caucasus, specifically Georgia, which could serve as a trigger for large-scale unrest and heightened tensions threatening the entire region if Brussels’ policy continues in this direction”, the Parliament official said.

“The double standards and injustice that we unfortunately observe on a daily basis do not allow us to discuss the normalisation of relations in the near future. However, this does not mean that we should deviate from our path. Our standard is precisely what even the European Council publishes on a weekly basis regarding Georgia’s achievements. In any field, we are ahead. We know this and we will not deviate from this path”, he concluded.
