MINSK, 4 April (BelTA) - The West is pushing Georgia to step into conflict with Russia, Head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin told the media on 4 April, BelTA has learned.
“We see persistent attempts by Washington, Brussels and London to convince the Georgian leadership of the need to open a so-called second front. They are trying to convince the Georgian leadership that now is the right moment when it is possible to return control over the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia,” Sergei Naryshkin said. “The intention of the Western capitals is to help Ukraine. They see that the current situation on the battlefield is not in favor of Ukraine. Therefore, in this way they are pushing Georgia to enter into conflict with the Russian Federation. Here, we can also recall the recent events in Georgia - the protests associated with the discussion of the law on foreign agent organizations in the Georgian parliament. This unrest was largely supported or even initiated by Washington and London through non-governmental organizations,” Sergei Naryshkin said.
