Georgian citizens will not be granted asylum in Europe since Georgia is a safe country – Johannes Hahn, European Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations said.

According to Hann, Georgia expressed interest to become a member of the European Union and that visa liberalization was one of the achievements though some faults remained.

He added that the media had to play an important role in informing people that seeking asylum in Europe would not be fruitful.

The fifth sitting of Georgia-EU Association Council was held today in Brussels, Belgium.
