A candidate for the State Minister of Georgia for Reconciliation and Civic Equality Ketevan Tsikhelashvili presented her program at the joint session of the Parliamentary Committees.

The procedure for confidence in the composition of the government started in the morning and the MPs were given the opportunity to listen to the ministerial candidates and their programmes.  

Ketevan Tsikhelashvili talked in her speech about the main task of the State Minister's Office - a peaceful reunion and aspiration for a European future where the rights and identity of each citizen, regardless of ethnic or religious affiliation, is protected.

According to her, with such policy the State avoided confrontation or a new threat of war for our country.

"The current situation and challenges are obliged us to show more responsibility and caution, but at the same time its evident that it is necessary to take new, proactive and more dynamic steps. This necessarily derives from the fact that after a few days its 10 years from the tragic war of 2008 and the Russian intervention. Today it is clear that this war has no winners either Georgian or Abkhazian and Ossetian societies. Barbed wire and other obstacles already became a face of open occupation", - said the acting State Minister.

According to her, such separation of societies, the limitation of their liberty and rights, cannot be reasonable, sustainable and have no prospects.

"That's why I'm sure that the day will come when we meet these dates in August without wire fences. I am sure because we confront these wire fences with more progress, development, constructive, consistent and principled approaches. Therefore, care for the victims affected by the conflict will be one of the main priorities of this policy.
