Archpriest Andria Jagmaidze says Dmanisi conflict was provoked by some forces from outside

According to the head of the public relations department of the Patriarchate, Archpriest Andria Jagmaidze, the conflict in Dmanisi was provoked from the outside. Jaghmaidze did not specify who he meant.

"Given the circumstances that we saw there, when we arrived on the ground, we talked to the people, it became quite clear that the attempt to escalate this conflict into a larger scale was inspired by some forces from the outside. It will be very unfortunate if we cannot prevent such incidents in time.

Of course, I cannot name, it will look like assumptions that are inappropriate. We make this conclusion based on the fact that the mood of the population itself is completely unsuitable for the tension that we have seen.

We may have some opinions, but it would not be right to state them because it is impossible to confirm.

Of course, this was a negative event, a strange fact. We will have to respond to this, however, before that we need some communication, clarification of details," Jagmaidze said.
