Now it is clear what they are preparing with the talk about Russophobia. It has begun. Yesterday twenty thousand Russians crossed the border with the aim of settling here, and several more tens of thousands are standing at the border; in total more than 200 thousand are expected. This is in addition to the 120 thousand that Ivanishvili has already settled here, - this is written by the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, on social media.
According to him, Georgia is in the greatest danger, and in parallel with these events a large part of the opposition is either asleep or occupied with fighting against him.
“A very dangerous process has accelerated at a catastrophic pace. Now it is clear what they are preparing with the talk about Russophobia. Another invasion of Russians into Georgia has begun. Yesterday twenty thousand Russians crossed the border with the aim of settling here, and several more tens of thousands are standing at the border; in total more than 200 thousand are expected. This is in addition to the 120 thousand that Ivanishvili has already settled here.
The fact that these people are mainly fleeing the mobilisation planned by Putin does not at all mean that they are our friends. Each of them represents a mortal danger to the security and future of every Georgian for the following reasons:
1) No one filters them and among these people there are many agents and saboteurs mixed in.
2) 99% of Russians are imperialists who look down on all peoples. They look down on Georgians especially and consider that we were born to serve and entertain Russians.
3) Russia uses the presence of Russians in any country to interfere in the internal affairs of that country. It invaded Tskhinvali and Abkhazia under the pretext of protecting Russian citizens. Now the main contingent of Russians is in Tbilisi and Batumi.
4) Russians are taking businesses and entire cities away from Georgians. Batumi, which was torn away from Russian control in 2004, has again been factually seized by Russians.
5) Ivanishvili welcomes the invasion of Russians, first of all because he is carrying out an assignment and the Russian environment is native to him, and most importantly he is making a great deal of money by selling concrete buildings and enriching the banking mafia.
In addition, he is gradually giving Georgian citizenship to citizens of a hostile state, and under the conditions in which he has taken away the right to vote from citizens who were forced to go abroad, he is concreting his own rule here with Russian electoral resources.
Just so that we can imagine: the number of Abkhazians in Abkhazia is only 50-55 thousand, and in Tbilisi and Batumi we already have 120 thousand settled Russians.
In order to understand how dangerous the settlement of Russians is, we should look at the experience of the Baltic countries, which to this day have not managed to integrate those who were settled many decades ago and who to this day pose a great threat to their independence and security.
Georgia is in immediate mortal danger, and at this time a large part of the opposition is asleep and occupied with its favourite activity - fighting against me. We must urgently wake up, because in ‘real time’ right now we are losing the homeland, and we must rally, act, not give up, and win. And to the Russians we must say: Россияне - Грузия не ваш дом, Россияне здесь вам не рады.
Россияне - идите домой!”, - Mikheil Saakashvili writes.
