Turks, Armenians and Chinese will Prove the Futility of Russia’s Attempts to Isolate Georgia

Russia’s unsuccessful attempts to isolate Georgia, which have intensified especially over the past three years, simply failed, Georgian Prime Minister Nikoloz (Nika) Gilauri said in Brussels after the start of negotiations on a free trade agreement with the EU.

“Beginning next year, Turkish, Chinese, Armenian and other non-European companies will begin building new enterprises in Georgia for the reason that they trade with Europe more easily through Georgia,” he said, according to the press office of the Georgian government.

“Against the backdrop of the political situation prevailing in Russia deserving of criticism from around the world, a statement is made that Georgia will become a country carrying out free trade with the EU. This is an expression of support from Brussels and the EU, which creates additional favorable conditions for investors,” Gilauri said.
