Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Thursday described a statement made on Wednesday by the Estonian Parliament to call on the “global community to take concrete steps to protect and support the legitimate President [Salome Zourabichvili], civil society, and protesters for democracy in Georgia” as “anti-Georgian”.
Kobakhidze’s comments followed the adoption of the statement, submitted by 49 members of Parliament and supported by 59, with nine voting against, The Caspian Post reports, citing Georgian media.
The PM claimed the statement represented an “expression of disrespect for the will of the Georgian people”, noting the country remained “in a mode of unilateral friendship” with Estonia.
He also called the declaration “unacceptable based on the historical friendship” that he said had been established between the two nations.
The PM claimed while the “deep state”, an alleged covert global network, was “under pressure” in the United States, the network was becoming “even more active in Europe”, with its influence “particularly serious in the Baltic countries [including] Estonia”.
