Zurabishvili urges Russia not to respond to provocations by radicals

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has urged the Russian government not to respond to the provocations ‘staged by Georgian radical forces and not to encourage their destructive goals to come true.

Zurabishvili stressed that peaceful policy is the only way to have stability in the country and in the region, Agenda.ge reported.

"We must not allow various forces to discredit Georgia’s international image and create tension inside the country with the use of provocations," Zurabishvili said, adding that discrediting and destabilising the country has nothing to do with patriotism.
