At his page in Facebook the leader of the "Georgian dream" Bidzina
Ivanishvili made comments on his interview with The New Times
Russian-based periodical.
"Unfortunately, one of my answers cause certain misunderstanding. For
this reason, I would like to explain. The journalist asked me about my
family's returning to Georgia and I replied, but only a part of my
answer was published by the newspaper. This absolutely changed and
distorted the context. And it turned out that I am surprised, why
Armenians live in Georgia having their homeland next to Georgia", -
Ivanishvili explained.
He is sure that every citizen of Georgia has equal rights despite his
ethnic origin, and Constitution of Georgia guarantees that. "As for
the interview, asked by the journalist, I replied that I am impressed
with a special gift of the Armenians and the Jews to be citizens of
the world and succeed everywhere they live and have a strong
community. As for us, the Georgians, unfortunately, we are a
surprising nation, that could not settle anywhere and create a strong
community. This was the key context of my answer. I would like to
emphasize once again that Georgia is a multinational country and a
homeland for the peoples living here", - he emphasized.
Here is a part of his interview: "We the Georgians are queer. We are
tied to our land. Such is our character. Armenians live beside us. I
am stunned at how they can live in our country when their homeland is
beside us. I lived in France, for one year I lived in the United
States but I dreamt of my village, my land," Ivanishvili said.
