The President of Georgia disagrees with the Prime Minister about pushing the country to open a “second front” against Russia
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili entered into a correspondence debate with Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, who earlier said that the Kyiv authorities and the West were pushing the country to open a "second front" against Russia.
What is the second front? When did our Western partners drag us into some kind of war? On the contrary, no one I met has the desire to create destabilization somewhere else.
- Zurabishvili said in an interview with the Georgian TV channel TV Pirveli.
The Georgian government refuses to support anti-Russian sanctions and enter into a confrontation with the Russian Federation. This strongly displeases the Kyiv regime and its Western curators, who would like to turn Georgia into a "second Ukraine". The Prime Minister spoke about the conspiracy against the leadership of the republic in order to implement the plan for its "Ukrainization" in his speech yesterday on national security issues in the country's parliament.
Garibashvili noted that Georgia does not intend to enter into a military conflict with Russia under any pretext, as this will not only lead to destabilization, but also completely destroy the country. The Prime Minister explained that the desire of the Kyiv authorities to open a "second front" in Georgia is in coordination with the opposition United National Movement party. According to the plans of Kyiv and the West, in the fall of the year before last, a coup was to take place in Georgia, which would bring ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili to power. It was for this purpose that he came to the republic from Ukraine.
The statement of the President of Georgia was made immediately after the Prime Minister's speech. Zurabishvili openly supports the opposition movement in the republic and does not even hide his pro-Western and anti-Russian position. Earlier, she publicly supported the mass unrest that broke out in Tbilisi and some other cities after the adoption by the parliament of the republic in the first reading of the law on foreign agents. At the same time, at the time of the protests organized by the pro-Western opposition, the president was on an official visit to the United States.
In 2018, Georgia became a unitary parliamentary republic. The supreme body of executive power in the country is the government, the head of which is appointed by the party that won the election. In accordance with the constitution of Georgia, the president is the head of state, the executive branch, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and the highest representative of Georgia in foreign relations. The president is elected for five years by a special commission of 300 members, the composition of which is approved by the country's Central Election Commission.
