The photo of the Ashgabat meeting is the clearest illustration of the space where Bidzina Ivanishvili sees Georgia - in the sphere of influence of a civilizational enemy, Russia, - this is how the chairman of the Federalists party, Giga Bokeria, responded to the presence of Irakli Kobakhidze and Vladimir Putin at the forum - "International Year of Peace and Trust" held in Turkmenistan.

According to him, "the Ashgabat meeting would not have been a problem if it had not represented the only foreign policy choice of the regime, which Ivanishvili is leaving to Georgia and the Georgian people in order to maintain his power."

“The photo of the Ashgabat meeting is the clearest illustration of the space where Bidzina Ivanishvili sees Georgia - in the sphere of influence of the civilizational enemy, Russia.

In general, the leader of a democratic country, who has a mandate from the people, must speak to everyone in order to protect the interests of the country;

He must also speak to the governments of our neighboring countries, including those that have made a different historical choice from Georgian society.

The government defending Georgia's national interests can speak to our occupier and civilizational enemy, but this should be part of a clear strategy to protect our independence and sovereignty, and not a continuation of the propaganda of adapting to the vassalage of the enemy, demoralizing and disorienting society.

The Ivanishvili regime sees the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union as threats to the Georgian state and identity, and instead, through violence and terror, leads us towards the world where we will not be able to gain freedom or prosperity and will remain the most vulnerable to Russian aggression.

The Ashgabat would not have been a problem if it had not represented the only foreign policy choice that Ivanishvili is leaving to Georgia and the Georgian people in order to maintain his power.

Isolated from the United States and Europe, stuck in the sphere of Russian influence, Georgia will inevitably lose its state independence if Georgian society, including ourselves, does not find the strength to change the regime.

The only way to save Georgia's independence is to change Ivanishvili's regime and establish a free republic with strong allies in the free world and our region," Giga Bokeria said.
