“Estonia’s Foreign Minister participated in an opposition rally in Georgia without the consent of the Estonian Prime Minister. This shows a lack of seriousness within the specific structure, which is very sad, although this is their business,” the Georgian Prime Minister, Irakli Kobakhidze, remarked.

Kobakhidze addressed the comparisons between the Maidan events in Ukraine and the ongoing protests in Georgia, remarking that “No Maidan will occur in Georgia.”

“I want to remind everyone of the consequences of the “Maidan” for Ukraine. The Ukrainian government has been externally appointed multiple times, with the appointees ultimately avoiding responsibility for subsequent events.

Before 2013, Ukraine had territorial integrity and a $200 billion economy. Today, the country is in decline, with a significantly reduced economy, 20% of its territory occupied, and thousands of deaths. No one takes responsibility for this,” Kobakhidze stated.

The PM emphasized the importance of maintaining Georgia’s independence, noting, “The most important thing we should be careful about is our country’s independence. No one else can take responsibility for protecting the interests of our country. The example of Ukraine has shown this. That’s why we must safeguard the independence of our state.”

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas stated on Wednesday that she did not have prior discussions about Minister of Foreign Affairs Margus Tsahkna’s participation in a protest in Georgia.
