Salome Zourabichvili, the president of Georgia, denounces as "undignified behavior" the comments made to a journalist by Irakli Kobakhidze, the chairman of Georgian Dream.

The President published a statement about this on the social network.

“I categorically condemn the undignified behavior of Irakli Kobakhidze. Such thing does not suit this country, does not suit our culture, does not suit our traditions, does not suit our politeness,” Zourabichvili wrote on Facebook, adding such behavior “only reveals political weakness!”

“Just as Arakhamia is not a man, so you are not a woman either,” the chairman of Georgia­n Dream told a journalist, who asked him a question regarding yesterday's interview with Davit Arakhamia, the leader of the ruling faction of the Ukrainian Rada.

“KGB agent is your father, I can tell you that... It's a shame, you lost face... Stop trembling, you lost face. You too are David Arakhamia, just as Arakhamia is not a man, so you are not a woman either. You lost your face, is politics worth it? It's a shame... you lost face for the sake of the UNM. You are no longer a woman... you have lost the face of a woman... when you speak, clean your mouth... you have a mouth like Saakashvili, you look like your leader in every way. You look like Saakashvili even with your mouth... You are shameful...,” Kobakhidze told a Mtavari TV journalist.

Arakhamia claimed in an interview with Mtavari TV that he was unaware of Kobakhidze's existence before discovering this information. Irakli Kobakhidze's father is a KGB agent, according to Davit Arakhamia, leader of the People's Servant faction of the Ukrainian Rada.
