The deputy head of the Russian Security Council, Dmitri Medvedev, described the outcome of the elections in Georgia as logical. According to the vice president of the Russian Security Council, the Georgian dream enjoys great popularity in the country, despite the fact that the opposition has quite a significant weight.
The ruling party is perceived as almost pro-Russian, but it is absolutely pro-Georgian, Medvedev stated on RT. According to him, Georgia has become a much more pragmatic country. He noted that the attitude in Georgia towards the European Union and NATO has changed.
Russia and Georgia have a faith and a history; only the former president is responsible for the 2008 war. Mikhail SaakashviliMedvedev said.
“We are neighbors historically. We have a faith, a history. We have helped Georgians many times throughout this history. Yes, there was this incident, but the president was responsible and not someone else. NATO is a military bloc, the European Union is quite far away, not to mention the United States. And Russia is close.” – Medvedev said…
The current Georgian leadership has recognized that it is necessary to reassess what happened and recognize the external influence on these processes, he added.
