A glance at the map illustrates the complexity of our situation; we must prioritize maintaining peace and ensuring a stable path for the democratic development of our country – Botchorishvili

Georgia, a member of the OSCE, has faced significant challenges for 3 decades, including the consequences of neglecting international norms, conflict, and the occupation of two regions by Russia, stated Maka Botchorishvili, Chairperson “of the European Integration Committee, during the autumn session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Dublin.

“The Georgian government’s declared policy is to pursue peaceful means to resolve the conflict and restore the country’s territorial integrity.

Thanks to a decade of efforts by the Georgian government, the decisions of international courts now bolster our position, allowing us to advocate for a peaceful resolution to the conflict with both political and legal arguments. A glance at the map illustrates the complexity of our situation; we must prioritize maintaining peace and ensuring a stable path for the democratic development of our country.

In recent years, Georgia has faced multiple threats of destabilization, which have made our security more vulnerable. We have witnessed various international campaigns that often lack objective foundations yet harm our country’s reputation.

… The Government’s commitment to ensuring that parliamentary elections are conducted fairly, without questioning the choices of the Georgian citizens, as has occurred in the past. At the invitation of the Georgian government, you will have the opportunity to observe the elections and draw objective conclusions. Your mission extends beyond mere election observation; maintaining stability and peace in Georgia is vital for our security and that of the entire region”, - said Maka Botchorishvili.
