Foreign Minister – Illegal borderization in Gugutiantkari and developments at Chorchana show that actual annexation has not ceased

Strengthening of Georgia’s sovereignty and restoration of territorial integrity through peaceful means represent the main priorities – Davit Zalkaliani, Foreign Minister said during the expanded sitting of three Parliamentary Committees of Foreign Relations, European Integration and Diaspora Affairs.

According to Zalkaliani, Foreign Minister was engaged in mobilization and consolidation of the international community during the whole year. “Illegal borderization in Gugutiantkari village and the developments at Chorchana show that actual annexation has not ceased. Use of all the available formats with partners is essential,” Zalkaliani said.

Foreign Minister said that Geneva International Discussions was the decisive format for negotiations since it was based on the obligation of non-use of force, 2008 ceasefire agreement and return of IDPs to their homes.

“Geneva Discussions is the only international format where we talk to the Russian Federation in presence of all actors – EU, OSCE, US,” Zalkaliani said.

Foreign Minister is present in the parliament within the framework of expression of confidence to the reshuffled government. Members of European Georgia and National Movement Parties are not attending the sitting.
