“Well, I haven’t thought about this question before because I’m not so good at politics, but I’ve heard something about the free trade agreement which would be a good deal for our country, but I doubt it can be possible to achieve full implementation of its conditions.”
Natalia, Interpreter, 24
“For me it would be beneficial for education and science, but for the country - for security cooperation. In fact there are many other fields in which we can cooperate but in my opinion these two are the top priorities.”
Sopho, Reporter, 27
“I want Georgia and the U.S. to be just two countries with somewhat good relations; that would be enough for them both.”
Irakli, Dentist, 41
“In general, I do not think deepening of relations with the United States is a priority. I think that we should take a more European course. Currently, we need the United States, and U.S. also needs Georgia for its interests.”
Giorgi, Student, 19
“I think that relations towards the military field, development of democratic institutions and their control should be deepened. They [the U.S.] should pay more attention to how allocated money is being spent. It would be important if they assist with a democratic transfer of power. If there is success in the above-mentioned fields, NATO and EU would open their doors.”
Zviad, employed, 31
“I think that relations should be deepened in all levels, especially in the direction of protecting minorities.”
Irakli, Editor, 27
“I think so, in defense and economic directions."
