Irakli Kobakhidze: If someone wants to change something in Georgia's behavior, they must talk to us, but the problem is that they don't talk to us — We are full of optimism that approaches will change, we are not puppets

"If someone wants to change something in Georgia's behavior, they must talk to us, but the problem is that they don't talk to us; they are not ready to talk to us," stated the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, during his participation in the EU Expansion Summit organized by Euronews in Brussels.

As the head of government noted, Georgia has its own values that align with the EU: sovereignty, democracy, the rule of law, and judicial independence.

"We are ready to talk about all issues. Let's start a conversation—if they provide us with arguments regarding laws, other actions, for example, was supporting the throwing of Molotov cocktails good, which they criticize in France?" Irakli Kobakhidze stated.

Furthermore, according to the Prime Minister, his team is full of optimism that trends will change.

According to the head of government, a different approach is needed from the European Union.

"For 70 years, we were members of the Soviet Union. I was young, and this was how it was—whatever Moscow said, Georgia had to execute. That was not an appropriate approach in a democratic society. It is necessary for a different approach to exist in Europe, and we are full of optimism that approaches will change. We are not puppets," the Prime Minister stated.
