Georgian PM calls for action to end “artificially imposed” hatred and aggression, stresses importance of hate speech prevention department

Everything must be done to end artificially imposed hatred and aggression in the country, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists during his visit to Kazakhstan.

In his remarks, Kobakhidze noted that the work of the department responsible for combating hate speech is of particular importance.

“This process is extremely important for ensuring healthy relations in our country and within our society. For years, primarily through foreign funding, hatred and aggression were imposed on us, and this must come to an end. This is an unacceptable phenomenon for Georgian culture”, he said.

“Accordingly, everything must be done to end artificially imposed hatred and aggression in our country. In this regard, the department and its work are of special importance. Its activities will continue to receive special attention in the future”, the Prime Minister concluded.
