The only way to achieve real peace and ensure that our citizens are protected everywhere on the territory of Georgia is Georgia’s accession to NATO and the European Union. Such a statement made today Tina Bokuchava, the Chairperson of the United National Movement faction, while responding to the killing of a Georgian citizen by Russian occupation forces near the village of Kirbali.

“Is it peace when our citizen, who goes to his father"s grave to pray, is shot in the back by the Russian occupation forces? The only way to achieve real peace and ensure that our citizens are protected everywhere on the territory of Georgia is Georgia’s accession to NATO and the European Union.

Each of us must fight and work for this. Unfortunately, the current Government has chosen a collaborationist, conciliatory policy with the enemy. What this brings is shown by the gravest facts, which we saw yesterday”, - said Tina Bokuchava.
