Georgian CEC refuses to hold referendum on entry into NATO
The Georgian Central Elections Commission has declined the Kartuli Dasi opposition party's request for holding a referendum on Georgia's entry into NATO simultaneously with the October 8 parliamentary elections.
"Unfortunately, the Central Elections Commission has rejected our initiative to hold a referendum on a highly topical matter. The attitude of the Georgian population to NATO has significantly changed in recent years. An increasing number of our citizens wish that Georgia would not enter into any military blocs and would be a neutral country," Kartuli Dasi leader Jondi Bagaturia told the press on Wednesday.
He said his party intended to challenge the decision of the Georgian Central Elections Commission in court.
The party suggested that the referendum ask one question, "Do you want Georgia to enter into NATO?"
