Mr. Ivanishvili promised the business community to protect them from harassment and pressure, unfortunately his words died with the sunset of that day, - Fady Asly, Chairman of the BoardInternational Chamber of Commerce in Georgia, says in an open letter addressing to the Prime Minister of Georgia.

Fadi Asli notes over the past 21 years, he has seen everyday governments using systematically the state apparatus to eliminate, weaken, blackmail and racketeer businesspeople.

“In the Parliamentary elections of October 2012, as a citizen of Georgia, I voted for the Georgian Dream, and on the 5th of October 2012 in coordination with Irakli Gharibashvili, we organized the first meeting of the Georgian business community with Bidzina Ivanishvili. During that meeting Mr. Ivanishvili promised the business community to protect them from harassment and pressure, unfortunately his words died with the sunset of that day, as he became thereafter the number one oppressor of businesses in Georgia,” the letter reads.
