Neither in the modern, difficult political situation, nor in the historical past, the intervention of a foreign country was not a foreign fruit for us. Every country, neighboring or distant, acts for the benefit of its own interest. The bigger the country, the more resources and opportunities it has, the more effective and powerful its influence is. However, both historically and in modern times, the domestic enemy is used as the most effective force - the fortress breaks from the inside, that's why, in order to gain influence, a foreign power looks for an internal foothold, - the candidate for the chairmanship of the parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, said this during his speech at the first session of the parliament of the 11th convocation.
According to him, both the area of influence and the tools in the modern world are diverse and sophisticated.
"Modern knowledge technologies ensure that people who have the influence of others sometimes do not even know what and who they serve. Values implanted in the form of fakes and stereotypes play their role in this. Values turned into fetishes and devoid of content push a person to reckless and ill-considered actions in such a way that he cannot see anything far behind his own nose. Such people find it difficult to see the interest of the state, its purpose, policies and far-reaching plans.
Along with such bearers of influence, there are those who serve foreign interests quite clearly and thoughtfully. Their homeland is elsewhere, their identity alien and sterile. Their wits are short and their nature narrow. They are the most solid base for external forces.
The short-sightedness, lack of thinking and excessive emotionality of some Georgians are the factors that cost us dearly in the history of our country on the way to realizing the right goals. Fate divided us in such a way that Georgians often have to pay a high price for each step. It's a pity that some people often fail to learn from their own example. However, intelligence and intelligence are the outstanding talents that our forefathers appreciated", said Shalva Papuashvili.
