Georgia, “Oh please oh please, don’t treat us like Moroccans!”
I found this article somewhat irritating. In summary, it discusses Georgia’s future with the EU and NATO, and whether Georgia ought to be considered part of Europe or Asia. Aleksandre Rusetski, the Georgian interviewee on the matter, made it very clear that Georgia does not wish to be grouped with the European neighbors program (read: Muslim Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Morocco, Algeria, etc). His comment that Georgian culture is more similar to Italian, Spanish or French culture, “in short with nations who drink wine” was particularly um…nice.
