The leadership of Georgia can organize a nationwide referendum and ask the question: do the Georgians want a war with Russia. This statement was made today, on September 13, at a briefing in the office of the ruling Georgian Dream party by the chairman of the party, Giorgi Kobakhidze. “Let the people say whether they want to open a second front in Georgia once morest Russia,” Mr. Kobakhidze emphasized. And he promised that the authorities “will act as the people say.”
The politician expressed hope that the Georgian people “will bring clarity, whether he agrees with the statements of Ukrainian politicians regarding the need to involve Georgia in the war or with the position of the authorities of his country.”
This is how Irakli Kobakhidze responded to the statement of Fyodor Venislavsky, a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, who the day before advised Georgia “to take concrete steps to liberate Abkhazia and South Ossetia.” Earlier, secretary of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov, as well as advisers to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak and Oleksiy Arestovich publicly addressed Tbilisi with similar “advice”. “They all directly said that the opening of a second front in Georgia is highly desirable,” recalled the head of the Georgian Dream at the same briefing.
