It is extremely important to maintain peace and security in our country, said today the Mayor of Tbilisi, while responding to the events that took place in Tbilisi on October 4.

"Over the past few months, we have witnessed very interesting developments. Let us wait for the investigation outcome. I want to take this opportunity to thank the relevant agency for its preventive actions because it is extremely important to maintain peace and security in our country. We know that the enemy does not rest and is constantly trying, through various methods, to bring tension and disorder into Georgia. Just a few days ago, there was an attempted coup.

Therefore, we must continue to live with great caution. Once again, I thank every employee of the State Security Service for their dedicated work.

These dishonorable, immoral, and unprincipled individuals - few though they are - have been created through external funding. It took years and significant resources to produce such people. Violent individuals and criminals will all be held accountable. They have no place in politics.

A few days ago, we witnessed a specific example of an attempted coup and the violent overthrow of the constitutional order, and there will certainly be a response. Many people will be held responsible for this.

Attempts by organizers of the October 4 rally to distance themselves from recent events would fail, as all actions and statements had been documented…

They will not succeed, because everything has been recorded - their statements and specific actions.

No matter what they claim, this is one violent group that may operate under different names but has a single master and carries out one mission in various forms.

We had warned them. No one can say they were not cautioned. These are our citizens, for better or worse, and they live in this country. As the authorities, we warned everyone in advance not to take illegal actions. Some went ahead anyway - and there will be consequences", - said Kakha Kaladze.
