Too many people had a feeling that the fires might have been caused by the carelessness of some people, or perhaps because of too much heat. There are versions that there may be some sabotage. Nothing is ruled out, since we know the nature of the destructive forces operating inside the country and their subversive tendencies, the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Gharibashvili, said at the beginning of the Government session.
According to him, the investigation should work in all directions and everything should be given an appropriate answer.
"Nothing is ruled out, therefore the investigation should work in all directions. It should give a comprehensive answer to all versions, and I know that they will do so," said Irakli Gharibashvili.
Gharibashvili thanked all those who participate in extinguishing the fires. He also thanked the Turkish side, which is assisting Georgia with a special firefighting plane.
"We are all very upset. We have been actively fighting the fire for the last 10 days. There were fires in practically all regions. I would like to point out that it is suspicious that there were fires in several districts, regions at the same time, but I would like to point out that the Gomelauri agency managed this crisis very effectively. As you know, by my decision, the defense forces were involved. I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the process of this very difficult challenge.
Of course, our citizens know very well that the fire first spread in Borjomi, then it spread to different villages and districts, but it seems that it is practically localized and extinguished everywhere. I would also like to thank our friend Turkey and President Erdogan personally. As soon as our request for help was conveyed to him, he immediately gave the order and within 1 hour three planes were already in the air. Of course, we appreciate it very much and Georgians will not forget this help," said the Prime Minister.
Irakli Gharibashvili urged citizens to be more careful.
"Here I would like to call on our citizens to be more careful in such a situation. Practically, there has been no rain in the country for several weeks and the situation is very difficult. However, I would like to point out here that fires are started all over Europe, in America, everywhere, and we should take such matters more responsibly," said the Prime Minister.
