Former President Zourabichvili speaks of “trap” hitting president’s legitimacy

“They organized a certain trap, which was an intrusion into the Presidential Palace. This trap also concerned me since this directly hits the president’s legitimacy,” said former President Salome Zourabichvili.

According to Zourabichvili, “Russian special operation thwarted in Georgia.”

“What happened is that the Russian special operation failed. Everybody acknowledged that this was truly a Russian special operation, a psychological special operation, which was based on different components, plotted long ago and focused on hopelessness that may have accumulated.

There is fatigue in this protest and this is natural, and they played on this, arranged a trap, which was an intrusion into the Presidential Palace. This trap also concerned me since it directly hits the president’s legitimacy, which is something that remains and which is a true legitimacy in people’s eyes and belief,” she said.
