Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has sharply criticized the government at a military parade in Tbilisi after a two-year break in the country's Independence Day conflict.

The EPA's Tbilisi correspondent reports that the head of state has pointed out that instead of testing the patience of the population, the government should prevent situations that cause anxiety and exaltation, protect its territory and monitor its borders. He said he believed Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's daughter had been guaranteed security by the authorities for her arrival in Georgia.

'The government needs to know who is entering and leaving the country. It is hard to believe that family members of the country's top political circle entered the country without prior awareness and security guarantees. Hasn't the government, which is constantly talking about peace and caution, seen the threat of escalation before ? It was as if we had no example like Gavrilov. The sanctions imposed by the Working Territories Act and our partners should not be disrespectful, it will lead to protests within the country on the one hand, and on the other hand it will cause dissatisfaction among our strategic partners."

Salome Zurabishvili has also accused Iraqi Kobachidze, chairman of the Judge's Wish party, of insulting the population:

"It is incomprehensible and insulting for the chairman of the ruling party to accuse the Georgian people of xenophobia. There is no such record in our history. This accusation puts the security of the country at risk, we all know and remember that Russia attacked its neighbors on the pretext of protecting the Russian-speaking population. We are insulting and arguing with countries, friends and partners who have helped us for 30 years, helped us build and shape a state. Instead, we applaud those who tend to invade our territory."

Salome Zurabishvili has once again criticized the government for the resumption of direct flights between Russia and Georgia and accused the country of selling its dignity in exchange for the revenue the flights would bring:

'Is our dignity really selling for 200 to 300 million? How can a nation with a history like ours believe that Russian politics depends not on its own interests, but on the good or bad behavior of someone or something else? Have those who think Russia will return our occupied territories in return for the concessions we have made have learned no lessons from our history? How can we believe that the invader cares for the welfare of our fellow countrymen?"

Salome Zurabishvili said on May 21 that the country would travel to Brussels for the European future and that it would bring the voice of the Georgian people to Europe.
