Chairman Shalva Papuashvili Condemns President Zourabichvili's LCI Interview
The Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, was asked about President Salome Zourabichvili's interview with the TV channel LCI.
According to Papuashvili, President Zourabichvili considers the Georgian constitution to be merely a piece of paper. He remarked that it is not surprising that her behavior and actions are "against the interests of the Georgian people."
"We remember when she was in Latvia; the main result she brought out after the meeting with the president of Latvia was a call to impose sanctions on Russia, to put our people in trouble. Now we have seen that the main result of the interview is that the Chinese ambassador is disturbed because such statements are completely disconnected from any reality and miss the interests of the Georgian people. Mrs. Salome acts directly against the interests of the Georgian people. This is not surprising; she betrayed her voters, trampled the Georgian constitution, and we should not expect anything good from her," Papuashvili said.
