The negotiations between the Georgian authorities and the Russian Gazprom company caused a stir in the Georgian society. The representatives of the opposition and experts claimed that the cooperation with Gazprom will deprive Georgia of energy independence.

"The country must not depend on one source of energy, so it is necessary to think about diversification,” the diplomat said. "The Georgian authorities’ negotiations with Russia, as a potential energy supplier, are a far-sighted action.
