Irakli Kobakhidze: What did Maidan bring to Ukraine? They lost 20% of territories - this is the result of the processes that the radicals want in Georgia, which is supported by Viola von Cramon

Georgian Yanukovych is in prison and his name is Mikheil Saakashvili. What did Maidan bring to Ukraine? - They lost Crimea and a large part of Luhansk and Donetsk, the continuation of all this is the war that is going on in Ukraine today, Irakli Kobakhidze, the chairman of the Georgian Dream party, told journalists.

According to him, all this is the result of the processes supported by Viola von Cramon in Georgia.

"As for the comparison with Maidan, first of all, I will tell you that Georgian Yanukovych is in prison and his name is Mikheil Saakashvili. As for Maidan in general, what did the Maidan bring to Ukraine? - In the following year, Ukraine had a war, during which they lost Crimea and a large part of Luhansk and Donetsk, the continuation of all this is the war that is happening in Ukraine today. In total, Ukraine lost 20 percent of the country's territory. This is the result of the processes that the radicals want in Georgia, supported by Viola von Cramon. We will act not according to the agenda of the radicals, or the agenda of Viola von Cramon, but in accordance with the interests of the Georgian society. Of course, we will not allow a new revolution of spies. We remember what it brought to the state in 2004-2012. We lost 20 percent as a result of what Mikheil Saakashvili did. People were tortured, all media outlets were seized. Of course, the Georgian society should not allow this. We are a state, we are an experienced society and we will not allow spies to return to power," said Kobakhidze.

For information, European Parliamentarian Viola von Cramon responded to the information about the use of pepper spray and water cannon against the demonstrators by the law enforcement officers in Georgia. "Reminds me of the Maidan times in Ukraine in 2013/2014," Viola von Cramon noted.
