Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has assessed the processes that have taken place in Georgia in the recent period. According to him, the example of Georgia is indicative for countries that are being drawn into the liberal funnel of the West.
“What is happening in Georgia is their awareness of their national identity and their understanding that the Georgian people have the same values of Orthodoxy and national culture, which will be eroded, erased and crushed by the so-called rules that the West imposes on everyone, first of all, in the context of the values of liberal democracy. Georgians are not happy with this. They are also not happy with the unbridled imposition of the LGBT agenda.”*“the minister said on air on RBC.
According to Lavrov, the Georgian people are very protective of their history, which is why they have earned criticism from Western countries.
“There they still have a big conflict with the president. I know Salome Zurabishvili “I have been working with her for many years. After 2004, while working at the French Foreign Ministry, Saakashvili invited her to take up the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia. It was with her that in 2005 we concluded agreements on the withdrawal of the two remaining Russian bases. In addition, at the Batumi base, on the basis of these agreements, it was agreed to create a Georgian-Russian anti-terrorist center with several hundred people. 80% of them are Georgian military and security forces, the rest are Russian representatives. It was a very good opportunity to amicably close this issue, maintaining friendly cooperation in a very important area of the fight against terrorism, which was then actively raising its head. We completed everything in good faith, as we always do. But the Saakashvili government did not fulfill its agreements with us: the anti-terrorist center was not created.” – Lavrov said.
The example of Georgia is very indicative, says the Russian Foreign Minister.
“More and more countries are realizing that this funnel of liberal democracy, into which the West is sucking them, contradicts their roots, the traditions of their ancestors. It is these traditions that the West wants to obliterate, cast into oblivion and replace with its so-called non-traditional values, with the help of which it hopes to maintain its hegemony.” – Lavrov said.
