Lavrov Accuses Western Countries of Attempting to ‘Tear' Georgia from Russia

Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation has recently made yet another comment on relations with Georgia.

“Our Western colleagues, the USA primarily, are using all means to tear our neighboring states from the Russian Federation,” stated Lavrov in an interview with a Latin American media source and RT TV Channel, adding, “We have never strived to worsen relations with Georgia. The authorities of Mikheil Saakashvili’s government suspended diplomatic ties, attempting to restrict our economic interaction.”

The Russian Official noted that there has always been close economic cooperation between the two countries.

“Those who launch major material values in Georgia will clearly remember how close our trade and investment ties have been. Trade has been resumed now, and I do not think there is anyone who feels uncomfortable about it,” he said.
