We will fully defend our country’s national interests in the Constitutional Court [CC]. Such a statement made the Prime Minister of Georgia.

“Taking this step is unconditionally important and necessary for strengthening our democratic system - it is a matter of national importance for Georgia.

This is a matter of national significance for our country. You can see that Georgia and its political system are trapped in a vicious circle. There are criminal groups and foreign agents who do not allow the country to live in peace. These are anti-democratic and unconstitutional forces by nature, who constantly attempt to overthrow or change the constitutional order through violence and refuse to recognise the legitimacy of the government elected by the people.

Anti-democratic and unconstitutional forces had continuously sought to overthrow or violently alter the country’s constitutional order. In such conditions, of course, the democratic system must defend itself, and the Constitution provides the mechanism for this.

We will make full use of this mechanism and defend Georgia’s national interests in the CC. Once again, I will emphasise that this step is unconditionally important and necessary for the revitalisation of our democratic system. If it were not essential for that purpose, we would not have taken this step. It is a crucial condition for establishing a healthy democratic system in Georgia once and for all”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
