If some people abroad had the opportunity, they would even enter Georgia with tanks with the motivation of restoring democracy - sanctions are the cannons of the 21st century, - the Chairman of the Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, told journalists.

According to him, "those who are now walking around and demanding sanctions against Georgia are a kind of traitor to Georgia."

“Ordzhonikidze has done nothing else. Perhaps he also believed that he wanted something good for Georgia, but he was a traitor who served another country. This is exactly what these people are trying to present as doing for Georgia. Any person who goes against his own country and tries to use another state as a weapon is a traitor. This is the definition of the term itself - a traitor. A person who uses the government of another country against his own country is a traitor. So, there are the traitorous Ordzhonikidzes of the 21st century, who go to different capitals and try to provoke a fire against Georgia. The methods are changing, if earlier they came with tanks, cannons, weapons and blood, now sanctions are tanks and cannons of the 21st century.

The motivation, the attitude is the same. If some people abroad had the opportunity, they would even enter Georgia with tanks with the motivation of restoring democracy. Sanctions are the cannons of the 21st century. And traitorous Georgians are also participating in this,” Papuashvili said.
