“Unfortunately, we have a legacy from 2008, and we still have to address the issues inherited by Georgia, not only from 2008, but from the beginning of the 90’s. The occupation of two of our historic territories is a big problem, and of course we have to deal with this issue with a constructive approach, but also with a principled approach, which means taking into account the consistent policy of Georgia’s European and Euro-Atlantic integration, and the policy which is based on certain values. We still need to look for the zones or areas with Russia which can serve as a base point in the future, to start positive discussions about the political resolution of the conflict”, the PM said, answering Jonathan Tepperman’s question on Georgia’s recent relations with Russia
