The way to NATO goes through the friendship and brotherhood with Turkey, said Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili in Turkish city Inegol (Bursa province), where he met with Turkish citizens of Georgian origin.

"Today, more than ever, you are the bridge between our two countries. You, more than ever, are a window for Georgia to Europe. The way to NATO goes through the friendship and brotherhood with Turkey. You are not just ordinary citizens of Turkey, you are very successful citizens of Turkey", said the president.

"The Russian Empire has quarreled us. But here ethnic Abkhazians and Georgians live fraternally, which means that possible fraternal life of Georgians and Abkhazians is possible," he said.

The President of Georgia said that if Russia does not sow a discord between Caucasians and "does not divide us," the Caucasus will be strong and invincible and will transform into an eternal union. "I am absolutely sure," he said.

"I know how much effort is applied by locals to preserve their culture", stressed Saakashvili.
