Secretary of the Russian Security Council: Georgia Thwarted a Coup Attempt by the Pro-Western Opposition

In 2024, the Georgian authorities prevented an attempted coup d'état organized by the pro-Western opposition. This claim was made by the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia, Sergei Shoigu, during the 14th annual meeting of the security council secretaries of the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) member countries.

"In 2024, the Georgian authorities effectively prevented a coup d'état initiated by the pro-Western Georgian opposition and began pursuing a policy aimed at protecting the country's national interests," Shoigu said.

He also advocated for resolving regional conflicts through diplomatic means, without interference from outside states.

"In this context, it is important to resume the work of the '3+3' regional consultative platform," the Russian Security Council Secretary added.

The "3+3" format involves cooperation between Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, alongside Russia, Turkey, and Iran. Tbilisi has previously declined to participate in this initiative on several occasions.

Furthermore, Shoigu stated that Moscow welcomes the development of trade and economic ties with Georgia.
