“Georgians all share a special love for Adjara and Batumi. I’m delighted this region and city are far more developed than they were 12 years ago,” said the Georgian Prime Minister and Head of the Georgian Dream Election HQ, Irakli Kobakhidze at the pre-election meeting in Batumi.

The PM pledged the government to “spare no effort” to develop Adjara and Batumi. “To do this, we must prioritise maintaining peace while preserving our country’s interests with dignity.”

“Once again, we must remember that this is not just an election, but a decisive referendum, where the Georgian people must choose whether they want war or peace, immoral propaganda or traditional values, the dark past or the bright, European future of Georgia,” Kobakhidze asserted

The head of the government went on to say that the “Georgian Dream has no alternative” “That’s why on October 26, voters should make a decisive choice that will preserve peace and bring development to Georgia.”

“Until 2012, Georgia was administered by a foreign agency, an authoritarian dictatorship of stateless politicians who killed and tortured people, engaged in corporate racketeering, hijacked television stations, falsified elections, war, and lost 20% of Georgia’s regions,” the PM noted, adding that Georgian Dream “inherited the biggest burden” from them in 2012.
