“On October 4, we have the chance to show everyone once again that our fight today lies in going to the polling stations, making a free choice, and preserving peace and stability. Today, we have the opportunity to cement the peaceful victory won in 2012 once and for all, to consign radicalism and confrontation to the past,” states Bidzina Ivanishvili, the honorary chairman of “Georgian Dream,” in a statement released in response to the party’s victory in the elections on October 1, 2012.
As Bidzina Ivanishvili notes, external enemies see October 4 as another opportunity for chaos, a state coup, and the realization of their own goals.
“In terms of defending our unity, the ideals of October 1, and the achievements and gains of the past years, another test awaits us on October 4. In the upcoming local self-government elections, unmasked internal and external enemies see yet another opportunity for chaos, a state coup, and the realization of their goals. More and more people are becoming convinced of their true intentions, their support is declining daily, and Georgia’s state institutions are stronger today than ever before. This convinces them that their only remaining chance lies in even greater radicalism, direct attacks on their own state, and, consequently, on the people.
Against this backdrop, on October 4, we have the chance to show everyone once again that our fight today lies in going to the polling stations, making a free choice, and preserving peace and stability. Today, we have the opportunity to cement the peaceful victory won in 2012 once and for all, to consign radicalism and confrontation to the past, and then to fight for greater development and prosperity, for the final eradication of poverty, for strengthening sovereignty, and for the peaceful reunification of our country!
Glory to the united Georgian people! Glory to a united Georgia!” states Bidzina Ivanishvili in the statement released by “Georgian Dream.”
