Gruziju potresa još jedna politička kriza, uglavnom generirana iz Moskve, a svoje mišljenje o ovom problemu na svom Instagram profilu podijelila je i eurovizijska predstavnica ove zemlje iz 2015. Nina Sublatti. Ona je otkrila kako pjesma Warrior zapravo govori o ruskoj okupaciji dijelova Gruzije i kako je cilj njenog nastupa u Beču 2015. bio da svijet senzbilizira na patnje svoje domovine. 

– Odlučila sam da ovu veliku platformu iskoristim da progovorim o okupaciji moje prelijepe domovine. Tema tog Eurosonga bila je “Gradimo mostove”, ali dok sam pisala “Warrior” pitala sam se: “Kako mi Gruzijci možemo graditi mostove kada ih naši susjedi iz Rusije ruše i pale? I to ne samo mostove već pale i nas, Gruzijce.” – riječi su kojima pjevačica započinje svoju objavu te dodaje kako su je svi upozoravali da je Eurosong apolitično natjecanje, no ona im je poručila da – odj**u. 

– Dok su naša braća i sestre otete i ponižene, i dok pepeo pokriva naše nebo, nisam vidjela dugu o kojoj bih pisala. Sjećam se da su na jednoj press konferenciji Rusi sjedili do nas i ja sam ih ponosno nazvala okupatorima, te poručila im kako je ova pjesma o njima, iako to nisu zaslužili. Rekla sam – Da, ovaj nastup je politički i mogao bi vas uznemiriti, ali ja želim da cijeli svijet čuje što se događa u Gruziji. Čut će naše glasove i vidjeti kako plačemo željeznim suzama, ali i kako širimo krila dok nam cijela dvorana plješće. – kaže Nina koja podsjeća da je i danas, nakon četiri godine, petina Gruzije pod ilegalnom okupacijom Rusije.

Za kraj, gruzijska pjevačica je citirala stihove iz svoje pjesme – We are warrior and we’ve been in danger for too long.

Almost four years ago, I decided to use the biggest platform ever to express what I feel towards occupation of my beautiful country Georgia. Back than the theme of the Eurovision was Building Bridges. And while writing Warrior I thought to myself – how can we, Georgians build bridges to connect with the rest of the world while our neighbour Russia burns them all. Not only they burn our bridges but they burn us alive. Everyone been telling me that this contest tends to be apolitical and that Warrior is not a song about rainbows and butterflies but I said I don’t give a fuck. And I won’t, while there’s a chaos and terror in my country I can not pretend. While our sisters and brothers are kidnapped and humiliated, while ashes are covering our skies I can’t see the rainbow to write about it. I remember one day I had a press conference, Russians were sitting next to me and I proudly called them occupiers and said I dedicated this beautiful song to them (even though they don’t deserve it). I said yes, this whole performance is political and it might make you feel little disturbed – it’s loud, it’s too dramatic, it’s out of context but still I’m gonna make the whole world see what’s really going on in Georgia, they gonna hear our voices and see us crying with our iron tears, they gonna see us in thunderstorm and they also gonna see us spreading our wings and fly freely while the whole concert hall applause for us. After four years I am still Georgian and more than 20% of my country is still occupied by Russia! I said No No No to the enemy four years ago, and today I’m saying it again – we are warriors and we’ve been in danger for too long to be happy for your politics! #beoximated #whateveritmeans p.s this post is not any kind of provocation and it’s not about any esc participant or ordinary Russians who have nothing to do with politics. Right now we have big thing going on in Georgia and everyone has right to express feelings and tell about experiences for people to know that we are peacefully fighting against whats been killing us for centuries ❤️
