From the outside, all of this looks like a very serious provocation, we had no involvement in the planning or organization of this rally - Samadashvili

I would like to emphasize that we had no involvement in the planning or organisation of this event. Such a statement made today Salome Samadashvili, a member of "Lelo", while commenting the recent developments in Tbilisi.

"From the outside, everything appears as a very serious provocation, which, regrettably, was seized upon by certain political actors involved in this process.
The Government`s attempt to use provocation to hinder the peaceful progress must failed.

The peaceful protests continue, and it will soon be a year since the citizens of Georgia have been peacefully resisting Russia`s efforts to undermine our sovereignty. We have consistently argued that we must fight for fair elections and urged everyone not to boycott, because a boycott would not harm this regime. The outcome of the boycotted elections, which sadly failed to exert any real pressure on Ivanishvili, has confirmed the correctness of our stance", - said Salome Samadashvili.
