When a politician of this rank arrives in the region and Georgia is not even mentioned, this is a direct geopolitical catastrophe and the end for our country - this is a sign that Georgia is losing its historical and regional function! - This is how Grigol Gegelia, Foreign Secretary of Lelo-Strong Georgia, assesses the planned visit of US Vice President J.D. Vance to Armenia and Azerbaijan in February.

According to Gegelia, the fact that the US Vice President is arriving in the region, meeting with the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia, but not coming to Georgia, is proof of the complete and total isolation that Georgia has found itself in today.

“This is proof that no one is interested in Georgia anymore - neither the European Union nor the United States, with whom, according to the propaganda of this regime, they supposedly have ideological similarities.

This is an example of how isolated, left alone the regime is and what kind of dead end the Georgian Dream regime has created. This dead end is only heading towards Russia and not towards the international community, peace and security.

When a politician of this rank arrives in the region and Georgia is not even mentioned, this is a direct geopolitical catastrophe and the end for our country - this is a sign that Georgia is losing its historical and regional function, including losing the transit routes that we have been so proud of for decades. Georgia will no longer be an important state in this region. There will no longer be the same busy transit corridor as it was for three decades.

This is direct proof that no settlement or normalization has taken place with the Trump administration and could not take place, because Trump is not interested in such gray regimes, whose international reputation is very damaged and who have nothing interesting to say to him.

Not only January 20, 2025, but also January 20, 2026 has passed, and after a year of Dream boasting, no stabilization has occurred between the Dream and the new US administration,” Grigol Gegelia said.

According to Gegelia, the holding of a hearing on Georgia at the Helsinki Commission shows that Georgia is on the list of important issues on the radar of the US political class.

“This is good and welcome. We expect a very critical and objective discussion of all the atrocities that are taking place in Georgia - this is the trampling of the rule of law and human rights, the neglect of the principles of democracy, the seizure of the state. These are issues that will definitely be discussed in the Helsinki Commission.

This is another important moment in terms of the delegitimization of the regime. This is the regime that told us that everything would change from January 20, 2025. January 20, 2025, January 20, 2026 passed, but nothing has changed in terms of settling with the US.

This regime remains an illegitimate, unrecognized regime! ", - stated Grigol Gegelia.
