Prime Minister of Georgia with a single short video address, has put an end to the speculative campaign on migration being waged in Georgia, with distinctly fascist undertones, by the so-called pro-European forces. Such a statement made today Speaker of the Georgia Parliament.

"Among those responsible for the scaremongering, are parties that are members of ALDE and similar European political groupings… I have in mind Lelo and others who, quite apart from having harboured a terrorist within their own ranks, are engaged in fascist-style campaigning and bandying about terminology such as “Arabisation” and etc. Plain statistics have now laid bare the truth of the matter.

According to the preliminary data from the latest census, Georgia`s population stands at 3,900,000, of whom only approximately 250,000, or 6.5%, are foreign nationals. Of those, some 220,000 are either Georgian citizens holding foreign nationality, or foreigners from post-Soviet states, the US, or Israel. The reality is that out of 250,000 foreign nationals, 220,000 are either Georgians with foreign passports, or citizens of post-Soviet countries, America, or Israel.

As for the share from those countries to which the so-called pro-European forces so shamelessly appeal when speaking about migration, Iran, Türkiye, and similar neighbouring states, the combined total amounts to just 0.7% of Georgia`s entire population. This once again puts an end to speculation and reveals that the so-called pro-European forces in Georgia are trying to harm our country with similar speculations", - said Shalva Papuashvili.
