Georgian FM: U.S. will Never Allow Georgia’s Int’l Isolation

Georgia’s participation in nuclear security summit in Washington is a clear sign that Russia has failed to achieve its goal to internationally isolate Tbilisi, Grigol Vashadze, the Georgian foreign minister said.

The Georgian delegation, led by President Saakashvili is participating in the summit held on April 12-13.

“The most important in the fact that we are participating in this conference is that despite many efforts, the Russian Federation has failed to achieve Georgia’s isolation,” Vashadze told Rustavi 2 television station in Washington.

He said that although Georgia “has neither nuclear arsenals nor nuclear energy” the country was anyway enlisted among “limited number of countries” taking part in the high-profile summit in Washington.

“We are here first and foremost because it is a political message, which President Obama also expressed during a phone conversation with President Saakashvili on April 6; the United States and the current administration will never allow Georgia’s isolation,” Vashadze said.
