Georgia will not be at the NATO summit in Ankara - this is the reality we have reached, and it turns out how good the “Dream” was for arguing that the Prime Minister should go to the summit and not the President, - this is what the founder of “Civic Idea,” Tina Khidasheli, writes on social media.

According to Khidasheli’s assessment, this corresponds to the practice established after the 2024 Washington summit, when the Georgian government was excluded from partner events due to democratic regression.

Khidasheli also states that under the “Georgian Dream,” NATO-Tbilisi relations are in fact frozen, and invitations are accordingly not visible.

“Georgia does not appear in any list of high-level meetings, dinners, receptions, etc. It is expected that NATO member countries’ Foreign Ministers will meet with their counterparts from Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, and will also hold a discussion over dinner with the Foreign Minister of Ukraine and Kaja Kallas, while NATO Defense Ministers will hold talks with ministers from Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea (we were in this group).

Zelenskyy will attend the summit.

There is also unconfirmed information circulating that the transitional President of Syria may appear, but with a bilateral invitation from Turkey and not as an invited guest of the summit.

This is the full list of partners, as per the publicly available disseminated information: Ukraine, the Indo-Pacific Quad, the Gulf Quad, and the European Union.

This information also corresponds to the practice established after the 2024 Washington summit, when the Georgian government was excluded from partner events due to democratic regression. Also, under the “Georgian Dream,” NATO-Tbilisi relations are in fact frozen, and invitations are accordingly not visible.

It is noteworthy that the majority of analytical publications before the summit (I could not find any at all, but I assume something might have escaped me) do not mention Georgia at all in the summit’s agenda or discussion rounds.

This is the reality we have reached, and it turns out how good the Dream was for arguing that the Prime Minister should go to the summit and not the President,” Tina Khidasheli writes.
