I don't know what inspired the Prime Minister of Georgia, apart from the desire to demonstrate patriotism, I don't understand how he will return Abkhazia and South Ossetia by 2030, - said Konstantin Zatulin, the first deputy chairman of the CIS affairs committee of the State Duma of Russia.
According to him, the impression remains that Irakli Kobakhidze wants to declare himself a politician who does not give up anything to the opposition.
"I don't know what inspired the Prime Minister of Georgia, apart from the desire to demonstrate patriotism. I really do not understand how by 2030 he will return Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which are developing as independent states, are under Russian protection and are recognized. I have the impression that in this way the Prime Minister of Georgia wants to once again declare himself a politician who will does give up anything to the opposition in their demands for joining the European Union or the return of Abkhazia and South Ossetia," said Zatulin.
He noted that this is caused by an internal political struggle related to the adoption of the law "On Foreign Agents".
"Most likely, this is caused by the internal political struggle, which intensified in connection with the adoption of the law "On Foreign Agents" in Georgia. The desire of the Georgian authorities, despite the fact that they supported this law against the opinion of the West, still shows that "we are not under the influence of Russia". "We are setting goals for ourselves that are in conflict with Russia, and you can be calm about our orientation to certain priorities in our policy that are against Russia's interests." He justifies himself in front of the internal opposition and the West," Zatulin said.
