Davyd Arakhamia Labels Georgian Government as Pro-Kremlin
Davyd Arakhamia, the chairman of the ruling party's Servant of the People faction in Ukraine, referred to the Georgian government as pro-Kremlin.
Arakhamia responded to the March 11 statement from Georgian Dream, in which the government expressed concern about the Ukrainian government's 'attitude' towards Georgia.
The case pertains to the presence of Zurab Adeishvili, former Minister of Justice and former Prosecutor General of Georgia, in Ukraine's official delegation during visits to the European Union and Germany.
"The pro-Kremlinist government of Georgia is making certain demands regarding the extradition of our citizens 'in order to normalize relations'.
If we are truly discussing 'normalization', then the plan is as follows: Release our citizen, Mikheil Saakashvili, from prison and return him to Ukraine; Stop direct flights with the Russian Federation, as demanded by the Georgian people themselves; Stop assisting the aggressor in evading sanctions. Then relations will be easily normalized," Arakhamia wrote.
Mamuka Mdinaradze Addresses Davyd Arakhamia's Statements
Mamuka Mdinaradze responded to Davyd Arakhamia, one of the leaders of Ukraine's ruling party, alleging that Arakhamia's attitudes towards Georgia are hostile.
"It is very good that flights to Russia have been restored because it helps a lot of people to move and also promotes the arrival of tourists. That they want to impose sanctions, stop air traffic, and destroy Georgia's economy is nothing new.
One request is very speculative, very bad, and pertains to the criminal Saakashvili. The second concerns harming Georgian citizens, and the third demand is a blatant lie. There is no need to comment further. Arakhamia's attitude is a continuation of this unfriendly stance, which indicates not only unfriendliness but also hostility," Mdinaradze stated.
