Which country is the best friend of Georgia?
Wednesday, September 3
“I think the US is the best friend of Georgia. It was the only country which firmly kept the initial position and the result could have been slightly different if Europe had done the same.”
Tamazi, taxi driver, 34
“I think France could offer a better deal, although the labyrinths of politics are too complicated and no one can guess the trajectory of developments.”
Natia, student, 23
“Turkey, for sure. It is the only one not posing problems and contributing too much to Georgia.”
Maria, translator, 45
“I do not know if there are any friends of Georgia at all. They become active only when their interests are at stake.”
Goga, doctor, 56
“Poland. This country and its President Lech Kaczynski always state openly that they support Georgia and its territorial integrity.”
Keti, student, 20
“I like Ukraine and its people. I know that they also love Georgia and we have a good relationship. I think one of the main factors is our Presidents’ relative political positions. Ukraine looks very much like Georgia as both of them have suffered from Russia’s aggression and pressure and both of them strive for democracy.”
