I am joining the small group of friends who made a similar decision for many reasons and it was not only about the court issue, - MP Zviad Kvachantiradze told journalists in Baku.

According to Kvachantiradze, he talked with Bidzina Ivanishvili about leaving the party several months ago, but then it was decided that "such a move would be hasty."

Kvachantiradze said that the court issue became one of the "biggest red lines" that pushed him to leave the majority.

“My decision is absolutely not pleasant, but I think it is a right decision before my compatriots, my friends. I join the small group of friends who made this decision for many reasons and this is not just about the court case. However, the court issues was one of the biggest red lines that pushed us to take this step," Zviad Kvachantiradze said.
