Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili believes that the impact of
Russia's economic embargo on Georgia has actually become an stimulus
to strengthen the country. The Georgian leader said this himself
at the opening of the new Bank of Georgia head office on Nov. 15,
reports Gruzya ("Georgia") Online.
According to Saakashvili, the country was able to overcome on its
own the artificial constraints Russia created.
"Now Georgia has to become an economic center, be an independent actor,
which will itself determine its fate, and set standards and rules of
the game for the entire region," he stressed.
At the same time, the state leader noted that Georgia needs to "catch
the capital running from Russia."
"Capital flees from Russia and it couldn't be otherwise," he
said. In his opinion, this capital has to flow to Georgia because
the country has an attractive investment environment and efficient
state administration.
"We have to stand at the border with a great net and catch the capital
running from Russia."
