It's not exactly true to say that Georgia has not joined the sanctions because, in fact, we are part of many of the international sanctions, President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili said in response to CNN's question regarding Georgia not joining sanctions imposed on Russia.

As Zurabishvili noted, Georgia is where it should be.

"Well, that's not exactly true to say not joined the sanctions because, in fact, we are part of many of the international sanctions -- the financial, the bank sanctions. And Georgia has its own sanctions, which is that we do not have diplomatic relations with Russia. We do not have alliance with Russia. And we have two occupied territories, 20 percent of our territory, with our main sanctions (ph). So we are in a different situation than most European countries. We have no protection from NATO Article 5. We are really on the front line. But we are very in solidarity with our European partners in all, for instance, in all international organizations, where resolutions are taken. We are co-sponsoring. So I think that Georgia is where it should be. And it is very important to us to be there, where we should be, with our partners and also to continue with our associated trio, that is Ukraine and Moldova, our paths toward European integration. And I think there is a new situation today in Europe, not only this new unity on sanctions but also a new perception that something should be done toward these countries that are somewhere in between," stressed Zurabishvili.
