Hartzell: EU supports Georgia’s right to choose with whom to cooperate

EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell says that the European Union supports Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and its right to choose with whom to cooperate.  


Hartzell says that it is the basement of European security and that the EU protects the ‘fundamental principle’ along with the US, NATO and the OSCE.  


He says that if Russia decides to invade Ukraine and chooses the way of destabilization, the EU will respond strictly.  


US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan also said today that America has already stated clearly that no talks are possible with Russia about European security without Europe and on Ukraine and Georgia without the two countries. 


Russia is demanding from NATO to break its promise given to Georgia and Ukraine back in 2008 on future membership amid current tension at the Ukrainian border.
