NATO Deputy Assistant Sec Gen: alliance wants to see “less polarised” political environment in Georgia

NATO wants to see the continuation of reforms in Georgia, a less polarised political environment, and to see the Government and the opposition "work together", the alliance's Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Emerging Security Challenges James Appathurai said on Wednesday following an address to the Georgian Parliament.

Appathurai underlined it was “clear” to NATO member states that a large part of the Georgian population supported Georgia's membership in the alliance.

NATO wants to see the continuation of reforms in Georgia, we want to see a less polarised political environment. We want to see the Government and the opposition work together and to see decisions taken across the political divide. It is quite polaried political environment here [in Georgia],” the NATO official said.
