According to the President’s spokesperson Khatia Moistsrapishvili, Geneva format of internationally mediated negotiations does not respond to political demands and therefore, President believes that the format should be updated.

“The President states that it is necessary to use all the existed formats related to occupied territories and conflicts and to use all the tribunes in order our partners and we to permanently remind Russians their obligations and to call for keeping the obligations has taken under various agreements.

As for the Geneva format, there is a clear position in this regard. Geneva format has no alternative, but recent years have shown that technical issues are solved within this format. It does not respond to political demands. Consequently, the President believes that it is necessary to update this format and the fact that political dialogue should be held has no alternative. If this happens within the Geneva format, we welcome it, otherwise, other ways should be found to conduct a political dialogue,” Moistsrapishvili said.
