Irina Gagloeva, head of the Media Center "IR":

The recent parliamentary elections in Georgia are of interest to us only in the context of our neighborhood and what is the current situation between Georgia and South Ossetia in the last few years. I think that with the advent of the new government in Georgia, one should not expect any significant changes, because conceptually it is not ready for them. We are the independent country and our foreign policy relations have been developing independently, the main focus is on Russia. In Georgiais widely believed a slightly different understanding of our political perspectives, and accordingly, this will not change anything.
