“Western politicians respect nothing in their attempts to shake up the internal political situation in Georgia after the October 26th elections and provoke another color revolution,” the media outlet said on Tuesday, denouncing the arrival of snipers trained in Ukraine.

The note specifies that these elements intend to organize provocations during the massive protests, just as they did during the 2014 riots in Kiev, which led to a coup against the legitimate president of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovich.

Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on October 26th, in which electronic ballot boxes were used for the first time. Eighteen parties participated in the elections, including the ruling Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia party, which has been in power for 12 years.

According to the latest data, the ruling party received 54.08 percent of the vote, which gives it the right to form a government alone.

Four opposition parties crossed the five percent threshold for access to the legislature: the Coalition for Change, which received 10.92 percent of the vote, the National Unity Movement (10.12 percent), the Strong Georgia party (8.78 percent) and the Gajaria for Georgia (7.76 percent). All of them refuse to recognize the results of the elections.

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili said she would not recognize the election results and announced a large-scale protest in the center of Tbilisi in front of the parliament building.

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobajidze has repeatedly called on the opposition to refrain from plans to destabilise the situation. He had already announced such plans by opponents of the authorities before the elections, and noted that the opposition does not have the resources for such actions.
