We do not think that it is in the EU interests to support revolutions in Georgia, but there are forces that unfortunately negatively affect the decision-making process in the European bureaucracy - Kobakhidze

We do not think that it is in the objective interests of the European Union to support revolutions in Georgia, but there are forces that unfortunately negatively affect the decision-making process in the European bureaucracy. Such a statement the Prime Minister of Georgia mads in an interview with TRT World.

"I don`t think it is in the EU`s interest to overthrow the government in Georgia, but there is an influence, which is quite obvious. For example, just before the attempted coup on October 4, when the opposition tried to storm the President`s Administration building, an official spokesperson for the European Commission expressed support for that rally, which was called a `peaceful revolution`.

These are facts. We don`t think it`s in the EU`s objective interest to support revolutions in Georgia, but unfortunately, there are certain forces that negatively affect the decision-making process within the European bureaucracy.

We have video recordings of such statements, including those made by the EU Ambassador to Georgia, who directly expressed support for the opposition. When we talk about democracy, the EU Ambassador in Georgia directly supported the opposition in the 2024 parliamentary elections. He made very clear statements in favour of the opposition and against the ruling party. Does that align with democratic principles? Of course not.

We are witnessing developments that erode democratic principles in the EU. These are the steps taken by the European bureaucracy. We hope that their attitude toward the Georgian people will change and become more fair", - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
