“The voice of Africa is heard louder and louder and strengthens the general anti-imperialist international front”

Unified Communist Party of Georgia

Dear Comrades,

The African peoples are rising ever more confidently in defense of their rights in the struggle against centuries of imperialist exploitation of the continent. The voice of Africa is heard louder and louder and strengthens the general anti-imperialist international front. 

That is why your congress is of the utmost urgency, and also against the background of the acute crisis in the Middle East, where the whole world is watching another criminal aggression of Israel against the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples.

Georgia is going through the most difficult period of its history. Until now it played the role of a kind of “Israel” in the Caucasus, but for the first time in the post-Soviet period the Georgian government did not follow the instructions of Washington and Brussels. 

After the beginning of the Russian Federation’s military operation in Ukraine, the question of the small South Caucasus country joining the anti-Russian sanctions became acute.

Kiev, Brussels and Washington made it clear to the Georgian leadership to start military actions against the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which would have entailed clashes with the Russian military stationed in these regions. 

The adventure of the regime of Mikheil Saakashvili, the former president of Georgia, who initiated a brief but bloody war with the Russian Federation, would be repeated. 

Despite enormous pressure, the current govern-ment of Georgia has remained neutral towards Russia, thus contributing to stability in the South Caucasus.

On October 26th we will hold parliamentary elections. There is a real danger of ultra-right pro-American revenge. We hope that pro-fascist forces will not be able to come to power, which guarantees the continuation of the policy of disobedience to the US and NATO.

Dear Friends, 

The Central Committee of the Unified Communist Party of Georgia warmly welcomes all delegates and organizers of the Congress and wishes success in the most difficult struggle!
