Regarding the "Deep State" and who allegedly called about joining the war - no one called us about joining the war. The call came at the time when Giorgi Gakharia's removal from the position of Minister of Internal Affairs had already been planned, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said in Parliament.

According to the Prime Minister, the demand that Georgia join the war was made during an in-person meeting.

"As for the 'Deep State' and who called regarding joining the war, I want to remind you that no one called us about joining the war. The call came at the time when Giorgi Gakharia's removal as Minister of Internal Affairs had already been planned. That was when the call took place.

As for joining the war, the demand that we join the war was made during a meeting. It was not a phone call. It was a meeting held in Tbilisi. There were two such meetings, and I personally attended one of them. So, to clarify, it was not a phone call," the Prime Minister said.
