Gakharia for Georgia has released a statement on the parliamentary investigative commission.

The statement notes that Giorgi Gakharia confirms his readiness to speak to the commission on the Chorchana checkpoint issue remotely before returning to Georgia, however, the commission has informed that the commission refuses to question Giorgi Gakharia remotely and “insists” on his physical appearance at the session on Monday, June 23, which, according to the party, “has no objective explanation” if the investigative commission is “really interested in hearing him on the Chorchana issue.”

“We would like to provide the public with information regarding the second summoning of Giorgi Gakharia to the so-called parliamentary investigative commission on the Chorchana issue, for June 23, 2025.

Giorgi Gakharia has already appeared before the commission once, at the April 14, 2025 session, which lasted 6 hours.

The Commission was informed twice in writing that Giorgi Gakharia is ready to participate in the session this time as well, however, considering that he is abroad on a pre-planned visit, he expressed his readiness to participate in the session remotely, in the online mode, which, on the one hand, is provided for by the commission’s regulations, and on the other hand, was already proposed by the commission itself in April, within the framework of the first summoning.

Nevertheless, on June 22, we were officially informed by the commission that the commission refuses to question Giorgi Gakharia remotely and insists on his physical appearance at the session on Monday, June 23, which has no objective explanation if the investigative commission is actually interested in hearing him on the Chorchana issue.

Giorgi Gakharia, once again, confirms his readiness to speak to the commission on the Chorchana checkpoint issue remotely before he returns to Georgia,” reads the information.
