Kaczyński's words met with criticism

President Lech Kaczyński, during his diplomatic mission in Georgia, participated in a press conference on August 12 in front of several thousands of people. His words are considered to be too sharp.

"We are here to begin a fight," said Lech Kaczyński.

"For the first time in a long time, our Eastern friends showed the face we have known for centuries,"  he said. "They claim that nations should be dependent on them. We say no! That country is Russia," he added.

Kaczyński pointed out that several European nations experienced this domination, which was disaster for the whole of Europe. "We are here because we want the world to react stronger, particularly EU and NATO," said Kaczyński in Tbilisi.

Poland's president's words were met with enthusiasm from the Georgian crowd.

However, in Poland his words were considered to be too sharp and too emotional. He was accused of his speech of not being thought out.

"I knew what I wanted to say. My words were thought out," denied Kaczyński. He added that he is surprised with the criticism that followed from Polish politicians.
