Speaking in Tbilisi on Tuesday, referring to "13 European foreign ministers", Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the "usual whiners and official fear mongers have wasted no time" in agitating over the Georgian elections.
Before his meeting with his Georgian counterpart, Ilia Darchiasvili, Minister Szijjártó said on Facebook that "dozens of European Union countries simply don't understand that democracy is about the will of the people" and not "appointed from Brussels".
He said mainstream liberals believed that a country was democratic only if a liberal party won the election. Hungary, he added, had faced "similar external attacks" for 14 years.
The minister said that Hungary would continue to work closely with the Georgian government with a view to speeding up its European integration.
