There is no such distinction as pro-European or anti-European, pro-Russian or anti-Russian in governing the country, only loyalty to national interests should define political orientation. Such a statement Speaker of the Georgian Parliament made at the presentation of the annual report in legislature.
As he said, the 2025 had brought fundamental changes to international politics.
"As states increasingly prioritised national interests, the notion of a black-and-white geopolitical world had faded, along with the mechanical labels such as pro-Western or anti-Western, pro-Russian or anti-Russian.
Today, there is only one defining measure - pro-Georgian or anti-Georgian. Any `pro-orientation` other than Georgian ultimately distances the country`s policy from its national interest and turns it into an instrument of others` goals. This position should be stated openly, clearly, and decisively. In matters of governing our country, there is no pro-European or anti-European, no pro-Western or anti-Western, no pro-Russian or anti-Russian. There is only being Georgian or anti-Georgian, loyalty to national interests or betrayal of national interests", - said Shalva Papuashvili.
