As Saakashvili stated at a meeting with journalists yesterday, the building of the oil pipeline is of high importance to Georgia, specifically from the point of view of attraction of investments, strengthening its strategic role. However, statements that all Georgian families will flourish, in his opinion, are "myth and self-deception."
