Georgian PM says opposition alliance had no prospects

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze linked infighting within the opposition to instructions from abroad, Report's Georgian bureau informs.

Responding to journalists' questions about developments within the opposition, Kobakhidze said its alliance had lacked prospects from the outset. He claimed that fundamental weaknesses within what he called the radical opposition camp had led to the current situation.

"Representatives of foreign agencies received instructions from their superiors that led them to destroy themselves. This resulted in the internal clashes we are seeing within those agencies," Kobakhidze said.

He attributed divisions and confrontations within the opposition camp to foreign influence.
