Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday criticized Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili for accusing Russia of being “an occupier” of Georgian territories and attempting to destabilize the situation in the Transcaucasian state.

“Zurabishvili’s statement provoked ultra-extremist, nationalist and anti-Russian sentiments that were manifested in what we saw on the streets (of Tbilisi),” Lavrov said at a press conference.

Lavrov also said that Moscow suspected the involvement of the United States, which does everything in its power to prevent the normalization of Russia-Georgia relations.

“Certain analysts noted that days before the provocation staged in the Georgian parliament, the head of the Joe Biden Foundation visited Tbilisi and not only worked actively on the sidelines but also publicly spoke and urged Georgia not to get involved in the development of relations with Russia,” Lavrov said.
