Irakli Kobakhidze announced this at an event held at the office of the “Georgian Dream”, party.
The Prime Minister responded in response to the information released by Georgia’s Prosecutor General regarding the case of Givi Targamadze’s attempted murder and noted that “talks of organizing provocations which, according their calculations, would make corrections during the election, do not cease” in the offices of opposition parties. “The Prime Minister called for the opposition to refrain planning provocations.
According to him, the state will respond with the strongest possible response to any provocation. “We would like a response to the briefing that was held yesterday by the Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia about the attempted murder Givi Targamadze.
Darcho Khechuashvili, the defendant, confirmed in his testimony in 2016 that he was given the task to spy on Givi Targamadze in 2016, with the involvement Mikheil Saakashvili. We remind you that, although the explosion of Givi’s car ended fortunately without any casualties, it was the most serious act committed 3 days before the 2016 elections. It was likely intended to influence the results. Finding the traces Mikheil and Gia Saakashvili in this crime should be a topic of special interest to the investigation.
We agree that it is strange that the person accused of organizing the worst election provocation in 2016, and who faces 18-years in prison in Georgia a few weeks before the October 26, parliamentary elections, He crossed the green frontier and was planning to illegally enter Georgia. It is reasonable to assume a person would only do such a thing under blackmail or if they were being forced to perform a similar act,” said Kobakhidze.
“The radical opposition knows very well the real party ratings,” he said. Everyone knows that “Georgian Dream’s” rating is around 60 percent and that the collective “National Movement is doomed to a ninth, most severe, election defeat.”
In this context, their party offices don’t stop talking about organising provocations that, according to their calculations should make corrections during the election.
You can all see the unprecedented calmness of the environment in which the election campaign is taking place, which will further reduce the chances of success for the collective “National Movement”, focused on radicalization. The OSCE-ODIHR report released yesterday confirms that the electoral environment is competitive and free. In this context, it’s not surprising that radical opposition has shifted its focus to provocations. The state is at the forefront of the call and will not allow anyone the chance to cause disorder in the nation. The management team will ensure that the election is conducted in a peaceful atmosphere and that voters are able to make their choices on October 26.
We urge the radical opposition not to plan provocations. “Any provocation will be met by the harshest response of the state,” Irakli Kobakhidze said.
