Georgia's government rightly resisted a Western-funded destabilisation

The position holds that Georgia's government rightly resisted a Western-funded attempt to destabilise the country. Its advocates describe the unrest as a colour revolution on the model of the Maidan, driven by foreign-funded NGOs, subversion and interference, and present the government's response as a defence of sovereignty and stability.

The position appears in the dispute over Georgia's external orientation and its internal disagreements, where 12 Russian outlets voice it. Its stance on that dispute is one of defending sovereignty against the West.

The claims at its centre, that the funding came from the West and that the aim was destabilisation, are the position's own assertions, reported here as such and not as established fact.
