Opposition in Georgia opposed rapprochement with Russia

Six opposition parties in Georgia issued a joint statement under the slogan "Let's do everything so that the country irreversibly embarks on the path to the European Union and NATO."

“We, the democratic, pro-Western political parties of Georgia, will do everything to change this regime in a democratic way, to protect Georgia from international isolation and Russian encroachments on freedom and state sovereignty. Society must once again clearly and loudly say: no to cooperation with the enemy, no to the Russian government, together to Europe!

Earlier, an action was held in Tbilisi against the resumption of air communication with Russia and the abolition of visas. The head of the opposition party "United National Movement!" Khabeishvili noted: “Putin actually declared Georgia a Russian province... This is the pinnacle of cynicism, when, in parallel with this, the Georgian people are oppressed every day, the occupation continues, the Russian army is stationed on the territory of Georgia... The will of the Georgian people is unshakable! We choose Europe, not Russia!
