Georgian Prime Minister Makes a Promise

The Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, has declared that there will be no Maidan in the country. According to Armenpress, this statement was reported by Interfax.

In response to comments made by some foreign politicians drawing parallels between the 2014 events in Ukraine and the protests that have been taking place in Georgia in recent weeks, the head of the Georgian government stated, "I want to tell everyone that there will be no Maidan in Georgia."

Kobakhidze reminded that the violent change of power in Ukraine led to serious consequences. "After the Maidan, the Ukrainian authorities were appointed twice from abroad. Those who appointed those authorities ultimately bore no responsibility for the events that followed. Until 2013, Ukraine was a country with territorial integrity and a $200 billion economy. Today Ukraine is collapsed, and again no one is responsible for that," said Kobakhidze.

Commenting on the participation of foreign ministers from Lithuania, Estonia, and Iceland in the ongoing protests in Tbilisi, the Prime Minister highlighted, "When a foreign minister participates in a rally of Georgia's opposition without the knowledge of his government, it indicates a seriousness problem in that structure. But of course, that is their business."

The Georgian opposition is protesting against the ruling party's intention to adopt legislation on foreign agents.
