Opposition: Georgia’s absence from NATO Summit signals deepening Western isolation

Irakli Pavlenishvili, Deputy Secretary General of the United National Movement, has condemned the country’s exclusion from the upcoming NATO summit, calling it further evidence of Georgia’s deepening isolation from the West.

Pavlenishvili said the absence of an invitation marked a "catastrophic existential threat" to Georgia’s national security and future development.

“Georgia was not invited to the NATO summit, which is yet another proof that Georgia’s isolation continues,” Pavlenishvili said. “This is a catastrophic existential threat to our security, our military, economic, and political development.”

He blamed the current Georgian Dream government for what he described as the country’s worsening detachment from Euro-Atlantic structures.

“Under Ivanishvili’s [Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder and honorary chair of the GD] regime, Georgia’s Western isolation in all directions is becoming even more severe and unprecedented,” Pavlenishvili added.
