The reckless venture launched by Georgian Dream, which is starting the impeachment procedure of the President, is in full agreement with the interests of the Russian government, one of the leaders of Lelo Badri Japaridze told the journalists.

According to him, this step also serves to damage the European perspective of Georgia.

"The reckless venture launched by Georgia­n Dream, which is starting the impeachment procedure of the President, is in full agreement with the interests of the Russian government. As far as it is known, the representatives of the Russian authorities have a negative attitude towards the actions of President Salome Zurabishvili, towards her efforts, so that the country does not lose a unique chance to receive the status of a candidate for EU membership. Therefore, this step taken by Georgia­n Dream is in full agreement with the interests of the Russian government and serves to damage the European perspective of our country and damage the efforts of Salome Zurabishvili, which is aimed at getting Georgia's status as a candidate for EU membership by the end of the year," Japaridze said.
