Question: you travel a lot, have concerts in different countries of the world... do you travel to your homeland Georgia time by time?
Liza Batiashvili: I feel responsibility towards Georgia. I think that I have to make my contribution my country to become more famous... that's why I travel often to Tbilisi... I am going to go to Georgia in one week and to gift five best violins. I would show Abkhazia to my children where I used to spend summer times when I was little child.
Question: as a result of events 6 year ago Abkhazia and South Ossetia now is occupied by Russia. What do you think about Ukrainian events?
Liza Batiashvili: I believe that in Ukraine events develop like Georgia. Georgians always used to defend themselves and were fighting against Mongols and Persians. When there begun events if South Ossetia Germans didn't think that Russia was aggressor, and not there is identical situation in Ukraine - invaded the territory under the pretext of protection of citizens... but today we have more information also from Facebook. I hope that such kind of novelty in publicity will bring important results to Georgia too.
