The attitude of the European Commission toward Georgia’s internal processes is completely unacceptable; it is colonialist behavior. This was stated by Ilham Aliyev, the President of Azerbaijan, during the "New World Order" forum in Baku.
According to Aliyev, Azerbaijan stands by Georgia, and Georgia’s internal affairs should be decided by the Georgian people, not bureaucrats from Brussels.
"The attitude of the European Commission toward Georgia’s internal processes is completely unacceptable. This is colonialist behavior. They are trying to view the will of the Georgian people through the prism of their colonialist past. This is completely unacceptable. The Georgian people know we are with them, and the government of Georgia knows. Georgia’s internal affairs should be decided by the Georgian people, not bureaucrats from Brussels," – stated Aliyev.
