“The public is more or less aware of the foreign threats to Georgia; however, it does not possess any information regarding domestic threats and cannot estimate the balance between these two kinds of danger.

The National Security Concept developed by Democratic Movement and independent experts underlines the danger our Government poses to Georgian statehood by identifying itself with the state and trying to show as if criticizing the Government implies confronting the Georgian statehood. Such attitude is completely irrelevant.

The document emphasizes the direct link between the grade of democracy and that of our national security,” expert Kakha Katsitadze, who is among the authors of the new document, commented.
