Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili said that Tbilisi needs to use the path of diplomacy and negotiations with the Russian side to solve the existing problems. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
She commented on the results of negotiations between the Heads of the Foreign Affairs agencies of Georgia and Russia, David Zalkaliani and Sergey Lavrov.
“When a country has problems such as occupied territories, there are two ways: the first is the military, which we abandoned, and the second is the path of diplomacy and negotiations”, – she said.
According to Zurabishvili, “there is no Russophobia” in her country. The President of Georgia also welcomed the reaction of the Western countries, who praised the talks between the Foreign Ministers of Georgia and Russia.
