Georgian Defence Minister on BBC: 'We will die as heroes'
19 September, 2015
Asked about whether Georgia and Russia are moving towards a repeat of the war in 2008 Defence Minister, Tinatin Khidasheli, tells HARDtalk: "If the world shows weakness on Georgia the same way as towards Ukraine, if the world fails the expansion of freedom… if Nato says this is where freedom ends after that we don’t care – then yes it’s going to happen."
She adds if this happens before the country can join NATO: "We will die as heroes, that’s
all we can do about it".
