Gigi Tsereteli - Russian people express the politics that is in the country, they look at Georgia as a big restaurant where music plays and they are served

In most cases, the Russian people express the politics that is in their country. They believe that Georgia should be their serf. They should be masters, they come to have fun, we should be a serving nation and this is reflected daily, probably in many places, - chairman of European Georgia, Gigi Tsereteli, said on PalitraNews.

According to him, "Russians look at Georgia as a big restaurant, a canteen, where music plays and some people are served".

"This is more than one incident, that's how the intelligent part of society perceived this story. I'm sure there can be many such facts. It's a reflection of the tolerant positions of our citizens. In all this, the main key things of Russian policy is felt, the feeling of a big country, everything. I haven't seen an American or European tourist who behaves here the way Russians behave. It's possible that those people who come here come with a preconceived idea that they will be received badly here, and this is their defensive reaction. In most cases, Russian people express the politics that are in their country. They believe that Georgia should be their serf. They should be the masters. They came for entertainment, we should be a serving nation, and this is reflected daily, probably in many places.

Recently, Russia's attitude towards the Georgian government, towards the "Georgian Dream", the attitude of their government, the Kremlin, Putin has been different. We do not hear threats, we hear, in most cases, praise that the Georgian government is confronting Europe, the USA. Accordingly, the perception that it is a regime that cooperates with them, they like it. They know that they will be fined less. There are many facts about this. This stems from the policy that is in place. They look at this country as a big restaurant, a big canteen, where music plays and someone serves,” Tsereteli said.

In addition, he spoke about the information posted on the website of the German presidential administration, according to which the Georgian ambassador will present his credentials to the German president on July 23.

“I often have the opportunity to be in Europe for very important meetings. I feel very well how devalued our country is in the hands of these people who make decisions today. It is no secret to anyone what the situation is with regard to European integration. What rhetoric, what curses are being made against Europe. No country has hidden that their relations have been minimized, programs have been suspended, a significant part of our citizens cannot enjoy the benefits that they could benefit from.

I am sure that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will explain this by saying that it takes several months, it does, but there is nothing pleasant for them in relations with the Georgian government. There was also a big stir regarding Trump's letter.

Germany has not severed diplomatic relations with Georgia. Until this is severed, such news will continue. They will probably give their consent to the ambassador, something may be corrected, but in the end, the attitude that is caused by specific events, repressive, anti-Western policies, will not be corrected completely.

Yesterday, 600 days of protests were completed. Why are these protests? Are these people coming out because of social problems, are they demanding lower taxes and higher salaries? They demand that there should be no political prisoners and that people not be persecuted for free speech and that they should elect whoever they want, that is, free elections," Tsereteli said
