The failed coup d’état of October 4 should serve as a final warning to everyone, both inside and outside the country - Papuashvili

The failed coup d’état of October 4 should serve as a final warning to everyone, both inside and outside the country. Such a statement made today Speaker of the Georgian Parliament.

“We heard only the slogans supporting the crime and, also, general, empty phrases about democracy and freedom, which seemed even more cynical against the backdrop of the massive crime that the entire world was watching live. Moreover, a few days ago, we heard a statement from the European Commission spokesperson expressing solidarity with the anti-government rally announced for October 4.

We have repeatedly pointed out the harmful nature of this statement. However, no one has distanced oneself from it. Of course, the society will not forget this open support, and expects an explanation.

Their deafening silence on the failed violent overthrow by the extremists embraced by foreign funders and patrons, clearly demonstrates how much real value they place on democracy, human rights, and peaceful development of the Georgian people.

The failed coup d’état of October 4 should serve as a final warning to everyone, both inside and outside the country.

There are already calls made to pretend that yesterday’s attempt to overthrow the Government was only a temporary setback, and that there is a need to change the tactic, continue provocations and they will definitely achieve their goal.

It is unimaginable to chronicle greater cynicism, contempt, and outright betrayal of the homeland than these people are doing.

However, the lesson of October 4 has been learned. Within the framework of the Constitution and the law, the Georgian Government will do everything possible to ensure that the country is protected, the people have peace, and Georgia and our children have a future. With calmness, strength, dignity, loyalty, and love, good has triumphed over evil”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
