(Reuters) – Georgian Prime Minister Garibashvili on Monday urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky not to interfere in his country’s internal affairs.
Zelensky thanked the protesters for raising the Ukrainian flag during last week’s violent demonstrations against a bill on “foreign agents” in Georgia. He said he hoped for “democratic success” in Georgia. The bill was rejected on the 10th after protests.
Opponents say the bill is similar to a 2012 Russian law used to suppress speech. Concerns grew as the country’s future goal of joining the European Union (EU) became distant.
In an interview with IMEDI Georgia, Prime Minister Garibashvili said, “If a person in a war-torn country reacts to the destructive behavior of thousands in our country, he will interfere and make things happen in our country for change. ” “This is direct evidence of upheaval,” he said, adding that he “wants a timely end to the war and peace.”
