Georgia : A bridge from Europe to Asia<\/span><\/h1>\n

The world\u2019s view mostly focused on what is going on in the \u2018\u2019new strong countries\u2019\u2019 like China, Brazil, South Korea, Russia. B<\/span>ut, as the most farsighted people could confirm, there\u2019s another scenario behind these trends that-beeing honest- are becoming \u00a0quite old and boring all the same. In this new power distribution, Georgia tries to find its place.<\/p>\n

Georgia: See the future more than a economic investment<\/h2>\n

From the ashes of wars and repression, as the European History with its tremendous wars has proved, a new phoenix can also born. \u00a0The developement, after destruction, happens fast and brings new business opportunities, hopes and fresh air of changes for the new generations. \u00a0We should give a look to what happened exactly to Germany, now one of the strongest economy ever after the 2<\/span>nd<\/span> World War. Who\u2019s the next? \u00a0The new \u2018\u2019stage\u2019\u2019 for a new future could be an early change: it is maybe the turn for East Europe, considering that until now is still underrated \u00a0but it is \u00a0raising up and is building day by day a relationship with EU and extra \u2013EU countries. The quality of life is now better than \u00a020 years ago in many countries like Poland, Romania, Albania, Hungary. There are always many entrepreneurs from \u2018\u2019the old Europe\u2019\u2019 , in particular from Germany and Italy , who choose to invest on them because the expected profitability. There are young \u00a0resources, energies and immense spaces available and the prices are still low for Europeans. <\/span><\/p>\n

But in this new Europe, there are not just money and business to think about, but also roses and fresh flowers: the new generations. Living far from the Soviet\u2019s time and its influence, they are now \u00a0dreaming of a new Europe participating in many exchanges, internships, training \u00a0courses and projects. This condition is well reflected in Georgia. Giorgi (22 years)\u00a0 from Tblisi gave his opinion on the new perspectives for its country and the European Union.<\/span><\/p>\n

Testimony<\/h2>\n

What do you do in your life? I know you travel actually around the world: do you do it for passion or because you feel disappointed by \u00a0what your country can offer you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do it for work, I\u2019m a regist and I work for international companies . This is a great occasion to enjoy the world, improve my English and have better inspirations.\u00a0 And I love my city, it\u2019s crazy \u00a0and very multiethnic .<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello Giorgi, if you should imagine Georgia In the middle of a dinner with all the countries of the world, with which one Georgia \u00a0would sit down with? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nice question! (laugh) Sure not Russia, but I bet it would be \u00a0friendly with Europe, in particular with <\/span>Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

About Russia, how is \u00a0the relationship with ? I know you were born just \u00a022 years ago , right? \u00a0And Georgia became independent only 25 years ago more or less , so you lived the first changes of this country which was under the pressure of the Soviet …<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Russia, you know, is a disaster because it supports the rebels from \u00a0Ossetia and Abcasia. Just recentely it accuses us to be a good place for foreign fighters who are coming from Syria. Of course it is not true.<\/span><\/p>\n

I did not perceive the change really because the things happened very fast and I was too young. I just know, because I use to see the older generations around me, that my education was more European: my friends can speak English as I can and they were \u00a0more open-mided \u00a0. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you think Georgia should be part of European Union?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that Georgia is definely a European country. The proofs? Look at our \u00a0Christian churches, the integration between ethnic groups and many cultures, our buildings and thermal baths: \u00a0we belong to what we can call European culture, no? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, in terms of \u2018\u2019convenience\u2019\u2019, what the European Union should expect from you (Georgia)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, \u00a0we have free trade to all the ex-soviet union countries so European trades should consider this as well if they want to improve their import. And, don\u2019t forget about the common fight to the terrorism: Georgia has got an important rule about it because it controls, exactly like Bulgaria or Balkans, all the immigrations flux from Middle Eastern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think that European Union is really considering your entry? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, \u00a0but the the times \u00a0are always long for burocracy and there are many countries \u00a0in the list who asked to enter before us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Georgia could be considered more as a \u2018\u2019foreign country\u2019\u2019 for Europe?<\/b><\/p>\n

Our culture and language are quite \u2018\u2019special\u2019\u2019 and mostly unique, with no common thing with the others in the Caucasian area. \u00a0We still have some bad ways in our mentality , just remember that the Soviet was here for many years.For exemple, \u00a0for LGBT community is not that easy to live quietly , expressing themself in the open air, in the streets. It\u2019s fault of course of our old times.. We are a bit far from some life style in Germany or in UK, but slowly we\u2019ll reach that point.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you should compare Tblisi to one of the European cities, what would you say?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(laugh) Naples, of course! For the colours, \u00a0the anciety and we have thermal baths as well ..! Ah, first of all because it is crazy like Naples.<\/span><\/p>\n
