Everyone will see that FARA is an accurate translation. If anyone has any complaints about any word, comma, or period in the text, first, they should contact the United States of America and second, they should tell us what they don’t like about the American system. We will be happy to hear what they dislike about the American system in this regard, - the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, stated in a conversation with journalists.
According to him, the discussion of the American law FARA will begin in the parliament next week.
“As for the American law FARA, it has been initiated, we will start discussing the bill next week. Everyone will see that this is an accurate translation. If anyone has any complaints about any word, comma, or period in the text, first, they should contact the United States of America and second, they should tell us what they don’t like about the American system. We will be happy to hear what they dislike about the American system in this regard. Therefore, many inside and outside were involved in this - foreign politicians, diplomats, some ambassadors, to undermine the Transparency Law and create absurd conspiracies, disinformation, and spread false narratives around it. Yes, here is the American law - word for word, identical. If they have any complaints about the United States system, let them tell us about it," - Papuashvili said.
In addition, Papuashvili also spoke about other draft laws initiated by the ruling team, including the "Law on Media."
According to Papuashvili, the Media Law will be created according to British standards, in which "there will be nothing new."
"As for the Media Law, in reality there will be nothing new in it. - What journalistic standards are, everyone knows, it's just that all this has been forgotten and some people want to create political activists out of journalists outside of journalistic standards. Therefore, there is nothing new here either," Papuashvili noted.
When asked by a journalist who will be an objective evaluator and who will evaluate the media, a specific journalist, Papuashvili said that "in general, it is not difficult to distinguish between truth and lies when a person wants to do so."
