PM on Congressmen’s Letters: We are Not Afraid of Tough Questions

As Georgia's Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia states, he understands the controversy generated by the Congressmen’s letters in Georgia.

"There is a political context, and, of course, everybody will use these letters in the political context, given the election cycle," Gakharia said.

He told journalists that all the letters the administration received were instantly disclosed and were not concealed.

“Whatever tough questions emerge between strategic partners, we are always ready to sit down and talk about them. We are ready to do so both inside and outside the country, whenever serious questions are asked about the Georgia's democratic development, foreign orientation, strategic relations between countries. Everyone understands that Georgia's Euro-Atlantic aspirations and development are irreversible. Our colleagues may have some questions and I assure you that we are not afraid of this. We are not afraid of tough questions or tough answers, both at home and abroad. Every question will be answered quietly, without unecessary excitement," he stated.

"As for the worsening of the economic situation, everything is comparative. Today, Georgia has the fastest growing economy in the region. Our foreign direct investment is growing, our infrastructure is growing. The country has a number of plans regarding infrastructure reforms that we discussed with our donors today,” Gakharia said.
