"Based on the EU's own interests and a pragmatic approach, let them find a way out of the impasse in relations themselves and reconsider their decisions! The EU needs Georgia just as much as Georgia needs the EU." This was the response given by Georgian Dream MP Archil Gorduladze to a question regarding the statement made in Brussels by Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili, who had said that "it is important for Brussels to return to the path of dialogue."

Today, Gorduladze highlighted the importance of the "Middle Corridor" and economic ties. “Our country plays a major role here, and the EU delegation needs to reflect on this.

Statements made by our team regarding the EU are always in response to something; we are never the initiators of such statements. When there is an attack, we invariably respond to the attack and the spread of falsehoods, as that is the mandate given to us by the Georgian people. We are a mature nation—everyone should show due respect to the Georgian people and their decision,” stated Archil Gorduladze.
