The goal before us is to conduct a dialogue with the public and to raise awareness, through effective and consistent strategic communication, about NATO and the European Union, as well as about the dynamics of Georgia’s European and Euro-Atlantic integration processes and current issues.

When talking about the full-scale military aggression launched by Russia against Ukraine on 24 February 2022, it is often stressed that this war has changed many things and Europe will never be the same again. While the consequences of the war will continue to affect our environment in many ways, most of these changes will become visible only after the end of the war. Nevertheless, the process of transformation has already begun in some directions, and the results have not been long in coming.

On 23 June 2022, the European Council made a historic decision to recognize the European perspective for Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.

Furthermore, this decision is historic because its brings Georgia closer to its European future and firmly anchors the country into the European family. Moreover, this decision a step towards ensuring the civilized choice of the population of Georgia, which offers Georgia and the Georgian people a real, tangible prospect for EU integration.

Many of us, who lived in Georgia during the 1990s, vividly remember the extremely difficult socio-economic situation in the country—extreme poverty, the civil war brewing in Tbilisi, and conflicts raging in Abkhazia and Tskhinvali, among other challenges that the majority of the Georgian population faced on a daily basis.

Pope Gregory XV could have hardly imagined that the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, which he created in 1622, would bring into existence one of the most widely used terms in the social and political life of the 21st century – “propaganda.” Propaganda is a Latin word, which, if translated literally, means the dissemination of any news, information, or teaching. Thus, the group created to spread the word of Christ unwittingly gave birth to the term that today describes a process where it is impossibly difficult to distinguish between the word of God and the word of the devil.
