Ivanishvili’s attempt to get the West to acknowledge and condemn an alleged violent coup scenario on October 4 will not yield results.

I was beaten during my detention! One was an employee of the State Security Service, and the other, I think, was from the President’s security, stated Davit Zhghenti, detained during the October 4 rally, at the court hearing.

The U.S. State Department should kindly prove that it acts not under the influence of the “deep state” but in accordance with the objective interests of the American people, and the simplest proof would be to condemn the attempt to overthrow the government.
