Burjanadze commented on Patriots’ Alliance’s visit to Moscow: “I welcome all kinds of visits to Russia which will serve protection of Georgian national interest. The fact that government does nothing in this direction is contrary to our interests. What are we waiting for? How much more land should we lose for our government to wake up? It is a crime to refuse to negotiate with Russians. If the government does not enter this process directly and engages in high-level negotiations, situation will get far worse. Day-by-day, we see deterioration of the situation and our negotiating power which is catastrophic to us. This is a crime over which this government in the future will definitely be held responsible.
