Irakli Gharibashvili: We saw how they set fire to the parliament building - I remember the years of my childhood, the terrible period when they built cannons and shot with machine guns at the parliament, the same is true today

We saw how they set fire to the building of the Parliament of Georgia - I remember the years of my childhood, the terrible period when they built cannons and shot with machine guns at the Parliament, the same is true today, - Irakli Gharibashvili, the chairman of "Georgian Dream", told "Rustavi2".

The chairman of the ruling party thanked the Minister of Internal Affairs and the police and noted that "they managed these processes very coolly".

According to Gharibashvili, it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service that prevented a coup and a revolution in our country.

"For me, the violence that the whole society saw is absolutely unacceptable. See how they attacked our heroic, proud policemen, our special forces, patrol, crime police, firemen and rescuers. How they set fire to the building of the Parliament of Georgia. I remember the years of my childhood, the terrible period when they built cannons and shot them with machine guns. The same is true today. The hard scenes I saw caused the same associations for me. Nobody liked what we saw.

This is completely unacceptable. An attack on a policeman is an attack on the state itself. First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Vakhtang Gomelauri, as an ordinary citizen and as the chairman of the party, every policeman, special forces. They managed these processes very, very coolly. It must be said directly that it was the police, as well as the security service, that prevented our country from a coup and a revolution. We know very well that their main goal was what they have in mind for the whole 12 years - that is to return to power through a coup. Here are these violent fascist forces.

The society also saw very blasphemous, frankly, satanic rituals performed by these anarchists, coffin burnings, etc. And I also want to say that having people standing there who may be genuinely protesting and complicit automatically raises very big question marks. I hope it all goes well. So to speak, the question will be answered. Today our country is beyond peace. Our people need to calm down, unite around common goals," Gharibashvili said.
