Georgia Online writes about this.

“Our motivation is to become a NATO member. It depends on our strategic readiness and patience. We understand that NATO membership depends not only on our desire to join NATO,” Garibashvili said.

However, according to him, in order for Georgia to join the Alliance, a consensus must be reached among all member states.

“We are not naive, we understand that Georgia has territorial problems, which we must first solve, and then join NATO. This is the opinion of our European and NATO friends,” Garibashvili said.

According to the Prime Minister of Georgia, the country intends to restore territorial integrity and sovereignty through peaceful negotiations.

“We do not have been in contact since they came to power. We have not had any political consultations since 2012, there are only trade and economic relations,” the Prime Minister noted.

Recall that earlier Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said that the status of a candidate for EU membership is first of all necessary provide Georgia, and then Ukraine and Moldova.
