Georgian PM Pushes for Pro-Western Course

(25 Apr 2016) The prime minister of Georgia vowed that his country will continue moving on a pro-Western course and pledged to hold an honest parliamentary election this fall. In an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, Giorgi Kvirikashvili said that the future of this post-Soviet nation lies with the European Union and NATO. "There is a very clear will of Georgian people ... to be pro-Western, pro-European," Kvirikashvili told the AP. "And every government in Georgia should follow the will of the Georgian people." Kvirikashvili was in Washington for meetings with Vice President Joe Biden and other officials, as well as to promote Georgia as a regional hub for business and investment. Kvirikashvili is a close ally of billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, who made his fortune in banking, mining and metals in Russia following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and whose party ousted the government of President Mikhail Saakashvili in 2012. He said the government is committed to holding a clean parliamentary vote in October, in which his Georgian Dream Party will have to battle falling support ratings and face off with Saakashvili's supporters and other parties.
