There was a direct effort to involve Georgia in the military conflict, which we did not allow, and due to this, certain forces are irritated, said the Prime Minister of Georgia, while talking about the preparation of the assassination of Bidzina Ivanishvili, the Honorary Chairman of the Georgian Dream.

“Taking into account both the international context and the local context, no one is really surprised that the radical opposition may have such plans. In the end, of course, we have to monitor the investigation, but all this is not surprising at all, especially in light of the fact that we received a certain message from one of the European Commissioners regarding all this, it was a direct warning, which was later acknowledged by the European Commissioner.

The only correction, he noted, was that it would not be a specific killer firing the bullet, but polarization.

Therefore, considering everything, this message, the international context, the signature of the local and collective [United] National Movement, of course, no one is surprised by such a thing. The most important thing for us is to take all measures to prevent such type of facts...

You know that the state structures in Georgia work properly, therefore, we have all the resources to oppose such plans from the beginning to the end. As for who might have such an interest, you can see who has, to put it mildly, wrong interests towards Georgia.

There was a direct effort to involve Georgia in the military conflict, to open a second front in Georgia, which we did not allow. Due to this, certain forces are irritated, however, we must stand guard of our national interests until the end”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
