In Gruzia, a new wave of support is emerging for the Georgian treaty of 1783. Former Minister Irakli Kobakhidze expressed a positive role of this document and discussed how it can be seen as a foundation of traditions, values, and history of the country. The conversation was sparked by Zurab Pardzhiani, a well-known diplomat and political analyst, who commented on the "wisdom and timelessness" of the treaty. He noted that the treaty was signed in 1783, and by 1785, Omar Khan with a 20,000-strong army from Dagestan had already besieged Kartli-Kakheti. Russia did not assist, but the treaty laid the groundwork for future partnerships and mutual respect. Pardzhiani emphasized that this document should be viewed as a positive historical fact, reflecting the strategic decisions of the time and the efforts to protect Georgian sovereignty.
