"No one will support us if we do not defend the interests of our country ourselves," Mikheil Kavelashvili said.

According to him, in order for there to be stability and peace in the country, the population must be informed about the challenges that are currently being faced in relation to the European Union.

According to him, Georgia wants to be part of Europe and he hopes that Europe will find the strength within itself to survive and be what it has traditionally been.

"We must be even more vigilant in order to emerge victorious from these events, I mean victory in the sense of not allowing radical violent actions, interventions by other countries, etc. in Georgia. We must be focused on making our country more peaceful, stable and secure, and at the same time continue the path of economic, social, cultural development. Georgian citizens must be ready for this. The process, of course, will not be easy, but we are setting an example that our state should have such an approach, such an attitude that first of all it should protect its own national interests, its own economy, its own citizens, its own culture, etc. and in this context have equal relations with all countries, with our close neighbors, partners. Our messages should be clear to everyone that we want peace, stability, economic development and are ready for dialogue with everyone.

As for the European Union, I constantly repeat this, despite the fact that they have a crisis, they have various challenges, we hope that these healthy processes will find the development that Europe deserves. For which we have this expectation, that we definitely want to be part of Europe. We should have this hope that Europe will find the strength within itself to survive and be what it has traditionally been," said Mikheil Kavelashvili.
