Giorgi Margvelashvili: Georgia already has a label of an international fraudster, I think it is impossible to "take such a brazen step without being encouraged by Russia”

Georgia already has a label of an international fraudster, - former President of Georgia Giorgi Margvelashvili said when assessing the Georgian Dream statement on the annulment of the Charles Michel agreement.

As Margvelashvili stated on PalitraNews, it is impossible to "take such a brazen step without being encouraged by Russia."

"This is a very serious blow to our statehood and international image. It is a state that does not protect any type of agreement and already has the label of an international fraudster. How should a citizen live in this state, how should one conclude contracts in business or legal matters, when the guarantor, the state, is a multi-year international fraudster.

The reason is on the one hand the fact that even despite the mobilization of all resources, including the violations that took place last year, the usurper force has not chance of getting even close to the threshold that it had signed. In my opinion, they also have support by another force, which gives a guarantee to this group that they will retain power by force, by cheating, by blackmailing, by beating journalists. Such a force is only in the North and such a force is only Russia. I consider it impossible to take such a brazen step without being encouraged by Russia," Margvelashvili said.

"I do not know what to expect now, when the Charles Michel document was trampled, just like the EU flag. I have been expecting a much tougher position from the EU. Behind this document is the political weight of the EU and a particular political figure”, Margvelashvili said.
