Georgian Prime Minister Irakly Garibashvili says attempts by Tbilisi to normalize political relations with Russia have thus far been unsuccessful.
Garibashvili said in Tbilisi on October 16 that the Georgian government had done "all it could" to improve bilateral relations with Moscow has only achieved progress in the economic sector.
The premier's Georgian Dream party took power two years ago pledging to engage with Moscow.
Garibashvili made his comments one day after Russia announced it would sign an "alliance and integration" treaty with the breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia.
The treaty would create a "common defense infrastructure" between Abkhazia and Russia while forming joint law-enforcement structures and a more integrated economic space.
Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili issued an "emergency statement" on the treaty on October 15.
Moscow recognized Abkhazia as an independent state after a brief war between Russia and Georgia in 2008.
