MOSCOW, November 1. /TASS/. The example of Ukraine prevents Georgians from siding with the West in a confrontation with Russia, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said in an interview with RT as he commented on the outcome of the parliamentary elections in the country of the Caucasus.
“An attempt to draw Georgia into a confrontation on the side of the West and Ukraine could end very sadly,” Medvedev said. “It is not without reason that these different memes and comparisons have spread in Georgia: a peaceful Georgia on one side and a war-torn Ukraine on the other. And I think this is holding people back.”
“We are generally a friendly neighbor of Georgia. Our trade is growing. It has grown very significantly in recent years. Tourism is growing. We have normal economic ties, despite everything that happened in 2008,” he continued. “So this whole (confrontation) could of course hit the interests of Georgia and Georgians very hard.
Still, Medvedev said Georgia has a high chance of “clashes, skirmishes and attempts to hold some kind of Ukrainian-style uprising, bringing in different types of Western envoys.”
On October 26, Georgia held parliamentary elections. The ruling Georgian Dream party won, capturing more than half of all ballots. All opposition parties that won seats in parliament refuse to recognize the election results. Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili called for protests.
