Archil Talakvadze on Davit Arakhamia: It is sad that a high-ranking official of a country in a severe war finds time to make statements on the internal political issues of Georgia

It is sad that a politician, a high-ranking official of a country in a severe war finds time to make statements on the internal political issues of Georgia, - this is how the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament Archil Talakvadze answered a question about the statement of Davit Arakhamia, the chairman of the Servant of the People faction of the Ukrainian Rada, according to which he was going to come to Vakhtang Kikabidze's funeral, but he was warned that there might be problems when crossing the border.

According to Talakvadze, "this indicates how detached this person is from the problems faced by the Ukrainian people in the war."

"Georgia supports the Ukrainian people and their struggle for freedom. It seems that we understand this better in Georgia than Davit Arakhamia in Ukraine. We will continue to support Ukraine unconditionally. In the background, when the Government of Georgia and the whole society stand by Ukraine, the political person finds time for the internal political processes of Georgia and makes statements that harm the friendship of Ukraine", said Talakvadze.
