Irakli Gharibashvili: The Kodori Gorge was transferred to the enemy by Saakashvili; the Georgian Dream is the rarest exception, when the country did not have a war
I would like to recall the Kodori Gorge, which was transferred to the enemy and the occupier by Saakashvili and his government. They could not avoid this grave provocation of Russia, - Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili said during a visit to Svaneti, where the Georgian Dream nominated a Mestia mayoral candidate.
According to him, the 8-year period of activity of the Georgian Dream is the rarest exception, when the country did not have a war.
"Thank you for supporting our team, a political party. It is because of your support that we have won the last 7 elections convincingly. On October 1, 2012, we all celebrated a historic victory together and when I was coming here, in this region, I remembered one of the famous visits of Bidzina Ivanishvili, when he was visiting Svaneti, when the harmful politicians of the former government tried to stage a performance, but you gave a worthy answer to those provocations then. I thank you once again for this dignity and for this courage. We left all this in the past. Over the last 8 years, our political team has proven through its work that we are a people-oriented government. We are interested in peace and stability on the one hand and the development and prosperity of our country and population on the other.
The 8-year period of the Georgian Dream is the rarest exception, which was transferred to the enemy and the occupier by Saakashvili and his government. They could not avoid this grave provocation of Russia. Everyone knew that. Every Georgian knew that the citizens living in this region, in Tskhinvali and the villages around it, that the biggest anti-state provocation was being prepared. But instead of sounding the universal alarm, instead of engaging European leaders, the world, the UN and the entire international community, instead of avoiding such a provocation, they showed an even more treacherous face when they abandoned our soldiers in the war. This is our hard past, we should always remind them who they are,” Irakli Gharibashvili said.
