Russian Foreign Minister: Events in Georgia are in many ways reminiscent of the Kiev "Maidan"

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, commented on the situation with the protests, which is gaining momentum in Georgia right now. At the same time, he noted that the position of the West on this issue once again points to a policy of double standards.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the events in Tbilisi are very similar to those that took place in Kyiv in 2013. In addition, he is sure that the Georgian protests, like the Ukrainian ones in their time, are "orchestrated" from outside. The minister spoke about this during the program "The Great Game" on First Channel.

As Lavrov put it, statements by the head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell that the adoption of a law on foreign agents is contrary to European values ​​are pure hypocrisy. After all, according to the Russian minister, many EU countries have much stricter standards in this regard.

Speaking of double standards, Lavrov cited the situation in Moldova as an example, where Europe supports the suppression of protests against the current "pro-Western" government. In Georgia, the opposition is allowed to do whatever it wants, since its authorities did not support anti-Russian sanctions.

In this regard, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that countries located in close proximity to Russia should think about the advisability of involving the United States and their partners in the “zone of interests”. After all, the West, in the struggle for its dominance, can at any moment use them as another point of tension and an "irritant" on the borders of Russia.

Yes, everything has been clear with the West for a long time. Stop calling on the West to play by the rules and try to shame it.

[Skunks]

Yes, there it comes to the ridiculous Parliament adopted a law exactly like the US about foreign agents And then a cry from across the ocean violation of democracy, etc.
Most likely they want to pull Sakashvili out of prison. Well, then you know what will start again ..
Some politician correctly said that if 08,08,08 is repeated, Tbilisi will be immediately struck and they are not "brothers" to us, etc. Maybe the time will pass and the expression of concern has passed, the Russian bear got angry

[chikod]

And what kind of law did you read, Georgian or American? When you write that the law is exactly the same, you need to at least read them.

Such laws can only be passed in the USA!
Double standards though. Remember when we adopted a law on foreign agents, which was much milder, so in the United States they ran out of hafno, snot with saliva flew in different directions.

It's good that we have such a smart foreign minister.

[Elephant]

And it is bad that our special services in the pose of an ostrich in the matter of somehow influencing the socio-political processes in the post-Soviet space. So it was in 2014 in Ukraine, they also only watched from afar, the result was tangible ...

such a smart minister

Apparently, including from the great mind of the minister, the Russian Federation is in the ring of friends and allies. And when you remember the Lavrov mantra that there is no alternative to the Minsk format, you understand - an intellectual block.

Still ... the director is the same, the script has not changed, the performers and extras are the same, the entourage is from there

[tralflot1832]

According to the scenario of the State Department, as in Ukraine, "unknown" snipers should appear in Tbilisi. Militants from the "Georgian Legion" have already arrived from Ukraine.

[alexmach]

No, not a fact. So far, the degree of tension seems to have subsided, the police do not touch the protesters. In order for the snipers to work, it would be necessary for them to fight there with the police for a start.

[Leshak]

Georgians want the Ukrainian scenario, but they could live in peace. They seem to be smart people, but they do a lot of stupidity.

Well, not smarter than the others. Who will call them smart when they have already raked out once in a similar situation, everyone observes the results of the same thing from their friends on the Maidan in real time, and still they are eager to trample on the same rake. What is the mind here? This is dumb arrogance. Although no, he lied, they were smart when they lived in one big country. However, even then they always remained cunning.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Ukrainian Maidan is unique! Not a single people thought of putting pots and colanders on their heads.

[Million]

Well, you need to act, Lavrov, act.
You will soon receive another Ukraine from Georgia.

[Igor_Sergeevich]

The population of Georgia is 3.7 million people with negative dynamics. Even if they just keep sending mercenaries to Ukraine, everything will end sadly for them.

Not similar, but one to one. . Here you have the organizers, and customers, and the driving force, and methods, and goals, and the "collective Yanukovych" in the person of weaklings from the Georgian government, who immediately backed down. And someone must be released from prison, there is no Timoshenko, but there is Saakashvili. In general, the coincidence is almost one hundred percent on all counts. I'm pretty sure the results will be the same.
