Georgian PM claims upcoming parliamentary elections “referendum between war, peace”

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Monday claimed the upcoming parliamentary elections, scheduled for October 26, would be a “referendum between war and peace, and between propaganda and traditional values”, adding the choice for the voters was “an easy one”.

He also claimed the choice “must be made in favour of peace, morality and a bright future” for the country.

“There has never been such a fundamental election so far - it is a kind of referendum between war and peace, a referendum between propaganda and traditional values”, the PM said.

He also stressed the ruling Georgian Dream party had launched an “active” election campaign throughout the country, and vowed “everything” would be done to “bring our messages to the public”.
