The Russian side is ready to continue the process of normalization of bilateral relations with Georgia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with "Ria Novost".
"Georgian people made their choice. We respect it. We are ready to continue the process of normalization of bilateral relations," Lavrov said.
According to him, the USA and the European Union are artificially trying to present the current election process in Georgia as a strategic choice between Russia and the West.
"In fact, it is about a choice between sovereign development based on national interests and external control, between traditional values and neoliberal attitudes imposed from the outside," Lavrov said.
According to him, the statements of American analysts about Russia's interference in the parliamentary elections in Georgia are lies.
"This is an obvious lie. Americans try to tell us what they do. As they say, a hat visits a thief," Lavrov said.
