Certain influential forces imagine the European Union as a unity of non-sovereign, weak states, which should be devoid of any identity and values, however, in reality, the European Union can only be strong if it unites sovereign states, - the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, told the public about this. He said during his speech at the public meeting.

According to the head of government, Georgia is an independent and sovereign state. Georgian society has solid values and it is with independence, sovereignty and values that we should become a member of the European Union.

"It's very exciting to perform in front of so many warm-hearted people. I want to greet the supporters of Georgia's independence, sovereignty, peaceful development and a decent European future, who are gathered here today!

Today, Georgia is an independent and sovereign state. Georgian society has solid values. And we want to become a member of the European Union precisely with independence, sovereignty and values.

Certain influential forces imagine the European Union as a unity of non-sovereign, weak states, which should be devoid of any identity and values. However, in reality, the EU can only be strong if it unites sovereign states; If it unites decent states, where they properly respect the national and religious identity of their country, democracy and the rule of law, the moral values of society.

"I believe that Georgia, as a worthy state, which, based on its historical experience, particularly understands the price of independence and national identity, can make a special contribution to the strengthening of European sovereignty and values, to the revival of the European Union as a unity based on sovereign and solid values," the Prime Minister noted.

As the head of the government noted, when a country becomes a member of the European Union, not only does the European Union allow this country into its home, but this country also allows the European Union into its home.

"The same people who try to undermine EU sovereignty and European values tell us that we will be accepted into the European family only if we leave state sovereignty and traditional values at the door; If we give up morality, church and faith; If we give up democracy and the rule of law; If we give up democratic elections and judicial independence; If we give up all the values that Europe was founded on after the Second World War.

When a country becomes a member of the EU, not only does the EU let that country into its home, but that country also lets the EU into its home. Therefore, Georgia has the full right to ask the European Union to respect our sovereignty and values before we enter the house," said the Prime Minister.
