West is trying to drag Georgia into instability - Chairman of SOYDASH Public Union

The implementation of Western plans regarding Georgia would pose a significant threat to stability in the South Caucasus, Kamran Ramazanli, the chairman of the SOYDASH Public Union, said in an interview to APA.

Ramazanli stated that it is no secret that the West has been establishing its footholds within Georgia through NGO funding mechanisms, attempting to push its own agenda: "This is why the Georgian government has taken measures against the West and its forces (NGOs etc.) in the country, and the "Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence" was passed some time ago: The events following the parliamentary elections show that the West is willing to provoke civil confrontation, even to the point of driving the country toward civil war, to achieve its objectives. The creation of ultra-Western pro-NGO factions, LGBT groups, and extreme right-wing liberal camps is not accidental. The negative impact of NGOs on Georgian society has grown so much that discussions of Georgia's territorial integrity and the return of lost lands are no longer part of political debates. On an ideological basis, efforts are being made to put the national identity and pride, history and traditions of the Georgian people in the background, and to put foreign LGBT and extreme right-wing forces in the foreground instead."

SOYDASH Public Union chairman stated that the West's goal is to replicate the 2014 Ukraine scenario in Georgia — a scenario involving street battles and violence against the police: "A large number of provocateurs have been brought into Georgia from Eastern Europe, particularly from the Baltic States, and it is not unlikely that some of them are armed. There is a possibility that these provocateurs could shoot at protesters and later blame the Georgian government for it. Just as the West dragged the Ukrainian people into war, similar scenarios are being planned for Georgia. The Georgian people must show wisdom and not allow any foreign power to use them as tools."

He also drew attention to the behavior of the European Union's ambassador to Georgia, who, according to him, acts like a viceroy: “Western ambassadors and countries are waging a hybrid war against a democratically elected government. The West, which accuses China, Russia, and other countries of hybrid warfare, is itself interfering in Georgia’s internal affairs. The events unfolding are Georgia's internal matter, and foreign powers must refrain from interference and respect the results of democratically held elections.”

The chairman concluded that the West's attempt to drag Georgia into instability is unacceptable for Azerbaijan: “The implementation of the West's plan regarding Georgia will create a great threat to stability in the South Caucasus. The West wants to open a second front against Russia in Georgia. This would lead to Georgia facing a fate similar to Ukraine’s, and would greatly threaten regional stability. Moreover, if the West succeeds in Georgia, the tendencies of revanchism will increase in Armenia, which has begun to behave like an outpost of the West."
