West ‘turns blind eye’ to ‘ultra-nationalists’ rioting when it comes to Georgia – Moscow
Western politicians ignore anti-Russian riots in Georgia, hoping to destroy the historical ties Georgians have with Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. Tbilisi, meanwhile, offered concessions to the protesters.
The recent anti-Russian protests and subsequent clashes in Georgia are “yet another example of the results of geopolitical engineering” performed by Western politicians, Lavrov said on Monday.
The Western supervisors are ready to turn a blind eye to rioting by ultra-nationalists and Russophobia, as long as they get to rip apart all the ties the people of Georgia have with our country, and rewrite our common history.
Despite all of that, Moscow remains open to dialogue and partnership wherever it is possible to “neutralize the common threats to all of humanity,” the minister stated.
The anti-government and anti-Russian protests broke out in downtown Tbilisi last week, spiraling into violent clashes with police outside the nation’s parliament building. Before that, opposition lawmakers protested against a visiting Russian delegation, a member of which addressed the participants of a Christian-themed event, hosted in the parliament building, from the official seat of the house speaker.
