As long as Georgian Dream is in power, it will not allow the opening of a second front, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said. This is how he commented on the promise of ex-Minister of Internal Affairs Vano Merabishvili, an associate of imprisoned ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili, that “the new leadership of Georgia will fight against Russia.”

“Merabishvili admitted that their goal is to wage war against Russia, that is, to open a second front, which we have been talking about to our society all this year … Let’s imagine that today there is a war in Georgia. Everyone understands that our beautiful country will turn into a testing ground,” he said on the Imedi TV channel.

According to Garibashvili, if Saakashvili were in power now, Georgia would cease to exist as a sovereign state.

The prime minister also said that during the riots in Tbilisi on March 7 and 8, the youth wing of Saakashvili’s United National Movement party, at the base of which Merabishvili also stood, began to attack the police.

“The collective National Movement is no longer a radical, but an extremist organization. It won’t be long before it becomes a terrorist organization.” the prime minister of Georgia warns.
