Naryshkin expressed hope that “another attempt” to stage a “color revolution” in Georgia will fail.
“Today, Tbilisi is facing yet another attempt at a color revolution, or a coup d’état. Let’s hope it fails, just as the West’s brazen attempts to destabilize Belarus and Kazakhstan did before,” said Sergey Naryshkin.
He noted that the Georgian government, which was initially sympathetic to the West and “reduced ties with the post-Soviet space in exchange for promises of European integration,” eventually recognized the harmfulness of such an orientation.
“The ruling party, Georgian Dream, has moved away from the ultraliberal agenda and has become a guardian of the national interests, traditions, and values of Georgian society. But the West never lets its victims go so easily,” said Naryshkin.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov remarked that “the collective West provokes internal conflicts and hotspots of tension, employing various dirty geopolitical technologies. From large-scale information wars to directly launching color revolutions, which they are now attempting in Georgia.”
The head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, also accused Western intelligence services of attempting to organize a “color revolution” in Georgia.
“Within the framework of the aggressive policy of the North Atlantic Alliance in the post-Soviet space, the subversive activities of Western intelligence services, diplomatic agencies, and non-governmental organizations and media controlled by them are expanding. Most recently, their concerted efforts effectively ensured that the results of the presidential elections in Moldova were favorable to the West, and there was an attempt to carry out another color revolution in Georgia,” Bortnikov stated.
The Russian government has been spreading a disinformation narrative about the West’s attempts to stage a “color revolution” in Georgia even in the lead-up to the parliamentary elections.
