We did not expect it – the US and the EU met the sobriety of the Georgian authorities: EADaily

The United States and Europe did not expect a sovereign policy from Georgia, which they, as they thought, would not miss after the Rose Revolution and the arrival of the Russophobic Saakashists. This was said by the First Deputy Chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the Federation Council Vladimir Dzhabarov, referring to information from the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service that the United States is preparing a color revolution in Georgia.

According to the SVR, at the “Tbilisi Maidan” they plan to reveal “evidence of fraud” during voting, announce that they do not recognize the election results and demand a change of government. This is not the first such warning from Russian intelligence. In July it was reported that Washington was preparing the Maidan in Tbilisi and plans to base its propaganda on accusations against Russia. As Dzhabarov noted, Brussels and Washington are not happy with Tbilisi’s refusal to join sanctions against Russia; the West was even more surprised by the adoption of the law on foreign agents to order the activities of Western NGOs in Georgia. In addition, Tbilisi has announced a course towards peaceful coexistence with Russia, not wanting to be the next “battering ram” against it after Ukraine.

“There is no doubt that Americans and Europeans will support the riot in Tbilisi, because already now they openly agree with the radical actions of the opposition of the current government. We saw how the foreign ministers of Iceland, Lithuania and Estonia participated in rallies on Rustaveli Avenue near the parliament building, during the recent protests in Tbilisi in connection with the adoption of the law on foreign representatives. And the US Secretary of State Blinken announced the decision to suspend the aid program to Georgia for almost $100 million. After another strong protest, Washington bets on Maidan autumn in Tbilisi. They work as usual – through non-governmental organizations such as the International Republican Institute (IRI), with the support of Congress and the US government. In the last elections, the same IRI was seen manipulating data for the Saakashists,” – said the grandfather.

Another method preferred by the Americans, Dzhabarov noted, is to use diplomatic pressure. Therefore, recently an American delegation led by the Senate Jeanne Shaheen and a congressman Mike Turner. They also met with opposition leaders, promising to monitor the pre-election period and election day.

According to Dzhabarov, the Georgian leadership itself evaluates the situation solemnly, which is confirmed by the words of the prime minister. Irakli Kobakhidze:

“In fact, these elections are a referendum on war and peace. This is a referendum on propaganda and traditional values. I think the choice is simple, it is for peace, morality and a bright future for the country. “
