“No one will forgive such a type of statement that is against your own country, especially when you were Defense Minister, in power, a member of Parliament, held positions, and possessed secret information,” stated “People’s Power” MP Guram Macharashvili, commenting on the statement made by former Defense Minister and founder of the organization “Civic Idea,” Tina Khidasheli, on “TV Pirveli,” according to which “in Georgia, there is practically illegally functioning the so-called university, a school of terrorists, whose rector was a person declared the successor of Ali Khamenei.”

According to him, “it is a regrettable reality when, apart from foreign forces, there exist in Georgia people who are mentally anti-Georgian.”

“These are the so-called leaders of NGOs, then the so-called leaders of political parties, and so on. What could be a more openly declared representation of a foreign country than telling your opponent, ‘Here are the weak points of Georgia’? It’s made up, but still you tell them that there are black holes here, there is supposedly an Iranian movement here to irritate America, and so on.

Every country has an interest in possessing information about other countries and using it to its advantage, but when you betray your own country by openly and publicly telling what you should do against your country, naturally, it is already proven that these people are representatives of a foreign country.

No one will forgive such a type of statement that is against your own country, especially when you were Defense Minister, in power, a member of Parliament, held positions, and possessed secret information. You possessed secret information about your country’s defense capabilities, and now you represent a foreign country. And openly you say and declare that there are such processes in Georgia that require, among other things, the United States to strike them. This is their mentality in the direct sense - just to somehow satisfy the hatred they have because the people do not support them and so that not a single stone remains upon another in Georgia,” Macharashvili stated.

In addition, Macharashvili responded to a question concerning the statement of Major General Vakhtang Kapanadze.

According to him, the problem is that these people are mentally representatives of a foreign country.

“When we talk about February 1921 and say that some Georgians even facilitated the entry of those armies into Georgia, what is different today? How does that Georgian who led the Soviet army into Georgia in 1921 differ from today’s Georgians who would gladly lead a foreign country’s army into the country - and even bombs?

Among them is the former Defense Minister and military general who would gladly lead foreign armies into his own country with great pleasure.

The problem is that these people are mentally representatives of a foreign country. Not only do they want to come to power themselves through foreign force, but they truly think mentally that this is permissible - to lead the bombs of another country into your own country,” Guram Macharashvili stated.

For information: Major General Vakhtang Kapanadze stated on air on “PalitraNews” that he “does not rule out the possibility that Iran could directly strike Georgia - there is the U.S. Embassy in Georgia, which is de facto a target.”

Kapanadze stated that it cannot be ruled out that the Georgian section of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline could also become the target of an Iranian strike, as this is the most vulnerable section of the pipeline.
