It is interesting, what connections Elena Khoshtaria has, how she is the first to know about the arrival of Russian visitors in Georgia - we predicted that with the approach of the tourist season, a new wave of xenophobic campaign would definitely start, which turned out to be true - the Georgian Dream Chairman Irakli Kobakhidze said relating to the rally ongoing near Kvareli Lake.
Kobakhidze called on all parties to refrain from provocations and declared that "xenophobia has no place in Georgia".
"We made a prediction in advance that with the approach of the tourist season, a new wave of xenophobic campaign would definitely start, and what we predicted came true. Xenophobia is not in the nature of Georgian society. This is in the nature of liberal fascist campaigne and I urge everyone to refrain from this type of campaigning. There is no place for xenophobia in Georgia. I rely on hotel information, I don't have details on this. The main thing for me is that there is a specific approach, which is reflected in the actions of specific people, and also a double standard. You remember their attitude after 2008, when the wedding of Mikhalkov's son took place in Georgia, the then president Mikheil Saakashvili personally visited him. We also remember excited posts of today's liberal-fascists. Now the same people are coming out with a xenophobic campaign. This is a double standard, which indicates that all this has only a political purpose. This goal is escalation, provocations, and the main actors in this regard today are: Khoshtaria, Melia, etc.
When it comes to the arrival of specific Russian visitors in Georgia, Khoshtaria always has the first information if you have noticed. It was the same with Posner. Even now she claims that she knows for sure that a specific person has arrived in Georgia. It is interesting what kind of connections Elena Khoshtaria has and how she is the first to know about the arrival of Russian visitors in Georgia", said Irakli Kobakhidze.
