PM hopes relations between Georgia and U.S. to reset if Deep State loses this battle

“We hope that relations between Georgia and the United States will be reset if the Deep State loses this battle, which is essentially a struggle between the Deep State and the Trump administration,” Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists.

According to the Prime Minister, when the attitude towards Georgia remains unchanged, it indicates that the Deep State continues to hold significant influence.

“As for democracy, human rights, economic policy, and all the other parameters measured by various ratings and indices, where countries are assessed based on specific criteria, we are unequivocal leaders. The rest is politics, driven by particular political interests. We have our own national interests. As you can see, we are defending those interests to the very end, both political and economic.

Regarding the United States, we hope that relations will be restored if the Deep State loses this battle, which we refer to as the conflict between the Deep State and the Trump administration. In that case, relations will be normalised. However, if the Deep State prevails, difficulties will persist, though we are accustomed to challenges. We will continue to defend our national interests and see how the situation develops. When the attitude towards Georgia remains unchanged, it signifies that the Deep State is still strong.

We have not been able to resolve matters with the Deep State because they sought to open a second front in Georgia. Their representatives came here, and in meetings held at the government administration, they directly demanded the opening of a second front on two occasions. We refused, and since then, relations with the Deep State have become more difficult. Our main goal remains to reset relations and renew our strategic partnership. We are patiently awaiting this,” the Prime Minister stated.
