The Georgian Government will by no means revise the Association Agreement with the EU even despite the biggest concerns of Russia over the Georgia-EU rapprochement dynamics, Beka Natsvlishvili, one of the leaders of the Social-Democrat Party of Georgia, says in an online interview with ArmInfo.
"Georgia's membership in the European family is the civilized choice of the incumbent authorities and the overwhelming majority of the Georgian society. But we should realize that Europe is first of all a unity of values, which cannot be put on the same level with arrangements", he says.
He said that the incumbent Government of Georgia is trying to normalize relations with Georgia, which first of all implies restoration of the dialogue between the two countries, because the only alternative to it is confrontation.
However, given the tense geopolitical situation in the region, Natsvlishvili says that Tbilisi continues this policy without excessive expectations in peace maintenance only in order to avoid a new military conflict.
The online interview was organized as part of the Region Research Center's project "Topical Dialogues for Armenia Media."
