We would rather be sanctioned than our citizens, and especially young people, receive invitations to war. Such a statement made MP from the “People’s Power”, Dimitri Khundadze, while commenting the US sanctions.

“The main partner made another gross mistake. This is gross interference in internal state affairs and pressure on state institutions. When the legislator is sanctioned for the adoption of the law - it is unacceptable, it is the reverse of democracy and the black day of Western democracy.

When [Lazare] Grigoriadis is pardoned because he committed violence, it is abetting violence, and when a police officer is sanctioned, it is obstructing the prevention of violence. Such an attitude is unacceptable. This is a prerequisite for getting Ukrainian “Maidanization” in Tbilisi as well, which will inevitably lead to the development of war.

Because the reality is like this, we prefer to be sanctioned rather than our citizens, especially the youth, receiving invitation letters for war. Therefore, we will protect the sovereignty and independence of our country. Society and government are the main armor and shield to ensure that the country’s interests and public safety are protected, that there is peace in the country and that there is no war.

Since this is the reality, we, the legislators, prefer to be sanctioned for the adoption of the law, than to allow destructive events to develop in the country, to accept the Ukrainian “Maidanization”, war, and inviting our citizens to war. Of course, we will not allow this”, - said Dimitri Khundadze.
