Georgia’s reaction to the statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the imposition of sanctions on Georgia was positive – Ambassador of France to Georgia Pascal Meunier said.

“Russia’s first reaction was emotional. We understand that seeing a Russian MP in the Georgian parliament was followed by emotion from Georgian people but the same could happen in Russia when Russians saw that their member of parliament was forced to hide and leave the country,” French Ambassador said. According to Meunier, it was high time for returning to reality and acting with responsibility.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on July 9 that he was against the imposition of sanctions on Georgia. “I would not do this because of respect for the Georgian people,” the Russian president was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
