It's all unfortunate. We have reached the point when the future of the country is being traded out of personal interests, this is how the leader of the For Georgia party, Giorgi Gakharia, evaluates the letter of the founder of Georgian Dream, Bidzina Ivanishvili.

As Gakharia told journalists, "this is how myths are shattered."

"It has come to this. It's all unfortunate. We have reached the point when the future of the country is being traded out of personal interests, and that's how myths are shattered," Gakharia says.

For information, former Prime Minister of Georgia, founder of Georgia­­­n Dream Bidzina Ivanishvili issued a statement today. Bidzina Ivanishvili confirms that a meeting took place between him and the US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan. As Ivanishvili explains, the meeting was held on March 21 at the Ambassador's request and "lasted about three hours".

He also talks about the political situation in the region and notes that today, when the threat of war has been neutralized, the ruling team has the opportunity to shift its attention to the most important priority and ensure that Georgia's relations with the USA and the European Union are not damaged. In addition, as Bidzina Ivanishvili explains, "certain forces actively tried to drag Georgia into the war, and this goal is still relevant today - the ruling team worked well and overcame the first stage of the threat of war."

In his statement, Ivanishvili says that the ongoing dispute between him and the Swiss bank is directly connected with ongoing processes in Georgia and notes that "it doesn't matter on what he planned to spend the funds frozen by the Swiss bank."
