Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Tuesday said the domestic law on the protection of family values, adopted earlier this year, only concerned the prohibition of LGBT propaganda, claiming it aimed “to protect family values and the interests of minors” and “to combat LGBT propaganda”. In his interview with the PosTV channel, the PM further noted the legislation did not infringe on human rights, but instead sought to “limit crude propaganda”. “The standard of human rights protection has been qualitatively improved since 2012 [in the country]. It is not the Government’s business to interfere in anyone’s private life, we cannot intrude on anyone’s private life, it is not also our business to judge anyone’s lifestyle. This is not the scope of regulation of this law as well. The only thing that this law opposes is propaganda, which resists traditional values, Christian dogmas”, he added.
