Irakli Kobakhidze's letter is both a manifesto of stupidity and betrayal of the country's interests. Of course, not the first, but exceptionally bad and strangely inappropriate, - Nika Gvaramia, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Changes, writes about this on social networks, responding to the statement spread on social networks by the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, where he speaks about the level of "Russophobia" in the country after the 2008 war.

According to him, since our country is in their hands, "this is no longer their problem - unfortunately, it is ours".

“Irakli Kobakhidze’s letter is simultaneously a manifesto of stupidity and betrayal of the country’s interests. Of course, not the first, but exceptionally bad and strangely inappropriate.

Such nonsense, so many slanders and lies, such confusion of concepts and dates, and, most importantly, Russophilia of this quality and scale, I don’t recall even in the texts of Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is always distinguished by the abundance of all the above.

I won’t even begin to speculate why at this time and why the word “Russophobia” has been used so often - it will soon become clear. I will only say one thing: this man is a scoundrel and a looser. Since our country is in their hands, this is no longer their problem - unfortunately, it is ours,” Gvaramia writes.

For information, the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, released a statement on social media, where he spoke about the level of “Russophobia” in the country after the 2008 war. According to him, “people who are the main “Russophobes” today, welcomed Russian tourists, Russian money, and the deepening of economic and cultural ties between the countries shortly after the August war.”

“After Russia’s occupation of Georgian territories in 2008 and the recognition of Abkhazia and “South Ossetia” as independent states, the National Movement not only did not pursue a strict policy towards Russia, but soon after the end of the war, the regime’s leader met Russian citizens directly at the border and invited them to Georgia for tourist trips and business activities.

Neither the representatives of the National Movement regime nor their followers expressed any protest against this policy at that time. Moreover, we all remember how today's main "Russophobes" - Elene Khoshtaria, Zurab Japaridze, Misha Mshvildadze and others welcomed Russian tourists to Georgia, Russian money, which then "had no smell", and the deepening of trade, economic and cultural ties with Russia. Let us remind you that all this was happening after Russia had already recognized the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and diplomatic relations between the two countries had been severed," Irakli Kobakhidze wrote.
