Politician Givi Targamadze has announced that he has been summoned by the temporary parliamentary investigative commission but has no intention of attending.
Targamadze shared a document on social media stating that the temporary investigative commission, which is examining the activities of the United National Movement government, had summoned him on April 3 at 11:00 AM. According to the document, the commission is requesting explanations from him regarding the state of defense, security, and human rights protection in Georgia between 2004 and 2012.
In response, Targamadze posted the following on social media:
"When you created this commission, I immediately wrote that even if it were just up to me, I'd never set foot there. And now that you’ve had the post office deliver me a summons early in the morning, what did you think? That I suddenly lost respect for my own mother? It’s like that old saying—‘Now that you’ve brought this one in, was the clay jar really afraid its neck would be widened?’
Should I appear before a commission created based on a Russian woman's private letter? After that interview, when the Russians put me on a wanted list, Sozar Subari publicly lamented—‘Unfortunately, the Georgian constitution does not allow us to extradite him, but maybe we can let the Russian Investigative Committee send a group here to interrogate him on-site.’ And now, he wants to interrogate me using their questionnaire?
Seriously now, human rights weren’t my responsibility—they were his. He’s sitting right there with you, so if you’re interested in something, ask him. Security wasn’t in my hands—it was in the hands of the labor inspection. I was in charge of national security, you geniuses.
Blow me up—I’m dead in your hands. So go ahead, spin a plate on that commission; maybe my spirit will appear to you,"*] wrote Givi Targamadze on Facebook.
