Why is Georgian Dream fighting not to get the EU candidate status? Why don't they want Georgia's defense forces to receive modern armament and why are they purposefully destroying the Georgian army? Why are they not building the port of Anaklia? - Because it is in Russia's interests, and I am asking these people, how long should they serve Russian interests in Georgia? - Giorgi Vashadze, the leader of Strategy Builder, said at the briefing held in the Parliament.

According to him, the statements made yesterday by the leaders of Georgian Dre­am regarding the American base once again clearly showed their nature that they do not want Georgia to have a strong defense system.

"In whose interest is it that the Georgian defense forces do not receive modern military equipment?! - In the interest of Russia. Whose interest is it that there is no expanded military representation of NATO or the USA in Georgia?! - In the interest of Russia. Dear friends, US military bases are located in 80 countries around the world, most of them are not members of NATO, but military cooperation with the US and the US military bases are the guarantee of security. For example, South Korea, Japan, Kuwait and various countries, the United States is the security guarantee of these countries so that the neighboring country does not attack them. Therefore, all the rhetoric that Kobakhidze, Mdinaradze and Kaladze had yesterday is rhetoric against state interests and it is another big lie, the author of which is Russia. Moreover, Kaladze's statements regarding the integration into NATO - this person has a problem with education, but at least someone should advise him that it's not just a shame, but anti-national, anti-Georgian to lustrate himself like this, that he has no interest in Georgia's integration into NATO and the strengthening of Georgia's defense forces. Why is Georgian Dre­am fighting not to get the EU candidate status? Why don't they want Georgia's defense forces to receive modern armament and why are they purposefully destroying the Georgian army? Why are they not building the port of Anaklia? - Because it is in Russia's interests, and I am asking these people, how long should they serve Russian interests in Georgia?" Vashadze said.
