"I refrain from commenting on Georgian authorities' actions since
every comment becomes worthy of another political assessment," said
President of Javakhq Patriotic Union, MP Shirak Torosyan, referring
to the recent scandal caused by Georgian TV broadcaster Imedi's fake
report on a Russian military invasion of Georgia and the ensuing
death of the country's president.
Torosyan added that according to experts' evaluations, the Imedi
incident was a provocation organized by Saakashvili's administration,
since Imedi's director is part of Saakashvili's entourage.
According to Torosyan, such a news broadcast wouldn't have been
broadcast without the authorities knowledge.
The Republican Party of Armenia MP also added that, in agreement with
the opinions of these same experts, the point of the faux report was
to get a feel for the mood of the Georgian public and to understand
exactly how much do the Georgians fear Russia.
