The President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, invites two political forces: "Strong Georgia" and the party "Gakharia for Georgia" tomorrow, September 17, to hold the last stage of negotiations in the Orbeliani Palace.

According to him, this step will convince voters that political parties can give up a lot for the sake of saving the country and play an important role in saving the European future, which no one will forget.

"The turning point in the history of elections in Georgia is approaching, and our citizens must make a very important decision that will determine the future of our country. We see this more and more clearly every day. This choice will determine whether our future will be Europe or we will be under the influence of Russia, which is what Mr. Ivanishvili is pushing us to do, so October 26 is not just an ordinary election day, it is the day of the main choice, the day of the referendum, choose sovereignty, freedom, independence and European values. If we leave our future to Russia. Today there is only one choice, either Europe or Russia. We have never given this country to anyone and we will not give it to anyone. This choice is our shared responsibility. We cannot escape this responsibility. I, for my part, will take the responsibility to the end and fulfill it, I will support all pro-European forces, for this the charter was created and the joint condition for the fulfillment of the charter was created.

Now we need one thing to make it easier for opposition voters. A positive third center that the undecided voters are waiting for and that has the ability to create the necessary charge for full mobilization in society. I believe in this and that's why I participated in consultations with everyone and I am ready to contribute to this process as a neutral party. The decision is in the hands of 2 pro-European forces, on the one hand, the association "Strong Georgia" and on the other hand, the party "Gakharia for Georgia". I hope that at this significant stage for the country, they will be able to take a step that will give voters more clarity, certainty and a feeling of more power. A step that will convince voters that political parties can give up a lot for the sake of saving the country and play an important role in shaping the European future, which no one will forget.

Therefore, I welcome Mamuka Khazaradze's public readiness, and I also know that there is a similar readiness on the part of Giorgi Gakharia, the election calendar leaves us very little time for the final decision. Therefore, I will invite both political forces to the Orbelian Palace tomorrow, so that the last stage of the talks can be held immediately. It is my full support and readiness to successfully complete this process and bring it to the end. This is what the society expects from you", said the President.
