Rati Bregadze: "I Would Like to Ask People who Are Behind the Riots, Are They Ready to Look in the Eyes of the Parents of the Boys who Died in 2008?"
"I would like to ask the people behind the riots, are they ready to look the parents of the boys who died in 2008 in the eyes? Or those who could die in a military conflict or war in Georgia? Have they visited the graves of Georgian soldiers at least once or have they done anything for the Georgian army?” Justice Minister, Rati Bregadze asked part of the opposition.
According to Rati Bregadze, recently a disinformation campaign has been launched, the aim of which is to make Georgia the epicenter of the war situation. The Minister of Justice states that part of the opposition speaks about the pro-Russian orientation of the Georgian government and demands the resignation of the Prime Minister, "the goal is to start unrest in the country ... and we will see the enemy army on the territory of Georgia again.”
Rati Bregadze recalled the period of Irakli Gharibashvili's Minister of Defense and noted that this was a period of unprecedented rise in the Georgian army.
"There was an unprecedented rise in the Georgian army during this period. Everyone knows what care was taken of the Georgian army, from uniforms, food, weapons, rearmament, and once and for all ended the era in the Georgian army when our soldiers rode in old Soviet cars. We never had such a high level of cooperation with our strategic partners; "The whole action was aimed at increasing the motivation of the Georgian army and making the service in the army as prestigious as possible and as many people as possible to understand what the Georgian army serves," - said the Minister of Justice.
Rati Bregadze also recalled the opposition's attitude towards serving in the Georgian army, noting that it was a "failed and unsuccessful attempt at demoralization.”
"Today, these people, who hindered the Georgian youth as much as possible in getting an elementary military education... calling on them not to join the army; These people are talking about protecting the territories today and calling on us to take radical steps to escalate," he said.
According to Rati Bregadze, if the UNM was in power, "today, with great probability, we would be in a state of war and the tragedy of 2008 would be repeated, because this force is ready to use all situations for its mercantile interests. I am confident that the Georgian government, led by the Prime Minister, will bring the people of Georgia to a peaceful background," Rati Bregadze told Imedi TV.
