PM assesses European Parliament’s resolution on Georgia as “another attack” on Georgian state

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Thursday claimed the European Parliament’s resolution on further deterioration of the political situation in Georgia was another “unjust” resolution and an “attack” on the Georgian state.

In his remarks, Kobakhidze noted that such actions and resolutions had a very serious impact on the reputation of the European bureaucracy in the eyes of the Georgian public.

“All this reminds us of the nine-year period when a harsh regime [United National Movement] was in force, which attacked [Georgian] statehood and media independence in our country, and this regime was run by the same forces that are initiating such resolutions in the European Parliament today”, the Prime Minister said.

“This is a very sad development, such actions and resolutions have a very serious impact on the reputation of the European bureaucracy in our country, in the eyes of the Georgian public. We hope that the European Union, European institutions and bureaucracy will recover in the future, as current trends are quite concerning”, he concluded.
