I do not welcome the restoration of flights to Russia! – reads the statement of the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili.
According to her, she cannot share the argument used to support this position, as if it would serve to alleviate the problems of Georgians living in Russia.
According to the President, instead of flights, the Government should take care of the country's reputation, "categorically respond to the accusations made against the country - about circumvention of sanctions through Georgia!"
"At a time when all our partner countries express their maximum solidarity with the self-sacrificing struggle of Ukraine, for me and I am sure for the majority of the society, the position of the Government and the ruling party is, to put it mildly, incomprehensible.
I cannot agree with the argument that is used to support this position, as if it serves to alleviate the problems of Georgians living in Russia. For months, despite all my efforts, I have not been able to achieve any result regarding the simplification of the criteria for granting citizenship - an issue that most worries our compatriots abroad, including Russia.
At this time, if we have any memory of Russia's already outdated tricks, we should understand that the Kremlin will use such topics when it hopes to create some kind of rift between us and our Western partners.
This should not be allowed!
Instead, as I have repeatedly urged the Government, it is necessary to seriously study the issue of the influx of Russian citizens, with all its social and political parameters, so that the public feels that its national interests and security are protected. We need regulations - regarding work rights, business registration, property acquisition, or the opening of Russian-language schools.
Also, instead of flights, the Government should take care of the country's reputation, categorically respond to the accusations made against the country - about circumvention of sanctions through Georgia! All this requires a serious state approach and denial of the accusations, which will be categorical and supported by facts!" read the statement.
