It is a logical consequence of the total inversion of truth and the turning upside down of values when you are about to award the "Order of Merit" to the criminal vertical of repression in your country! - This is what the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, wrote on social media.

As Zurabishvili notes, the constant lying by the state was a key method of governance in the Soviet Union.

“Constant lying by the state about domestic policy, social conditions, and the outside world was the main method of governance in the Soviet Union. They even forced the tortured people to participate in this lie and to confess to invented crimes.

Now, it is no longer just 'Russian' laws or 'Russian' elections; now, they want to lead the country into this distorted reality. Total lies prevail, where statements by partners are presented to the public in a distorted manner, and foreign partners are blatantly lied to! The interpretation of the harshest conclusions of the OSCE/ODIHR is just one example of this!

It is the logical continuation of the total inversion of truth and values when you are about to award the 'Order of Merit' to the criminal vertical of repression in your country!” writes Salome Zurabishvili on social media.

For reference, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced that, after the inauguration, 11 high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be nominated for the Order of Merit.
