Political analyst Anjaparidze slams EP resolution as ‘cluster bomb” against Georgia

Political analyst Zaal Anjaparidze has criticized the latest European Parliament resolution on Georgia, describing it as a “cluster bomb deliberately designed to inflict lasting political damage on the country.”

In a social media post on Friday, Anjaparidze alleged that the resolution’s content was prepared either “in the offices of rich NGOs in Tbilisi” or by foreign lobby groups, claiming that many of the 320 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) who voted in favour had not read the text in detail. “They voted for it just for the sake of their colleagues,” he wrote, accusing European lawmakers of being misled.

“The European Parliament has fired another ‘missile’ at Georgia in the form of a resolution - this time in a cluster variant - so that scattered mines explode at us over time,” Anjaparidze said, suggesting the document was part of a coordinated attack on the ruling authorities.

He also criticized the resolution’s reference to the case of former president Mikheil Saakashvili, describing it as a continuation of efforts to pressure the government for not aligning Georgia more directly with Western confrontations against Russia.

“This is part of a broader campaign aimed at punishing the government for refusing to turn Georgia into a problem between Russia and the West, as Saakashvili demanded,” he argued.

Anjaparidze concluded that Georgia-EU relations remained driven by forces trying to “turn back the wheel of history” in the country.
