It is dishonest when you portray to the public as if there was a conspiratorial meeting in a public place, where MPs, journalists and guests gather, - Parliament Chairman Shalva Papuashvili said in response to the meeting of the Vice Speaker of the Parliament and businessman Davit Khidasheli.

According to Papuashvili, Volski made clarifications regarding the content of the conversation and he cannot add anything.

"It's funny to say that in a cafe next to the Parliament, where I am, you are also there and you meet each other there, there was some kind of secret meeting, and it's dishonest when you portray to the public as if there was some kind of conspiratorial meeting in a public place, in a place where deputies gather , journalists, guests gather. There is a cafe and everyone gathers there. Regarding the content, Mr. Gia Volski made clarifications on this, I cannot add anything," Papuashvili said.

According to Gia Volski, the deputy of the parliamentary majority, Davit Khidasheli has not voiced any anti-Western, pro-Russian, or even anti-Georgian idea at the meeting.

"Davit Khidasheli called me, I didn't know him, he said I had interesting opinions about Abkhazia. When this video was released, I couldn't understand what was the reason for this joy, although I will say that they were talking very loudly in the cafe so that the waiter and all the people sitting there could hear it. Then I realized that there were people from Droa, who need to be reminded every day that they receive funding from the Russian budget, and I think this joy was caused by the fact that I met Davit Khidasheli.

I tell you honestly, Khidasheli has not voiced any anti-Western, pro-Russian, or especially anti-Georgian ideas. He talked about the fact that in 2011, during the period of the National Movement, there was an agreement with Russia and Switzerland with international participation, that Georgia gave Russia the green light for membership in the International Trade Organization, and he said if it was possible to restore this transit movement with the involvement of this Swiss side on the basis of the agreement that was signed by the National Movement signed with Russia in 2011. But there was no need for my long answers, he himself understands well and expressed his position that in the current situation, after the start of hostilities, after Russia invaded and occupied the Ukrainian territories, any negotiation, especially with international participation, with Russia, is impossible. It has no perspective and he understands it well," said Gia Volski.
