The fact of torture that happened is a direct criminal, terrorist act, characteristic of the Russian regime - the conclusion is, one cannot cooperate with a criminal, terrorist regime, one cannot negotiate and cooperate with a criminal and a terrorist, that's exactly what Bidzina Ivanishvili is today, - this is how Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, responds to the attack on the former head of the Co-Investment Fund, Giorgi Bachiashvili.

According to Khoshtaria, she "expresses full support and solidarity on behalf of the Coalition for Change towards Giorgi Bachiashvili, his relatives and family members."

"The fact of torture that happened is a direct criminal, terrorist act, characteristic of the Russian regime. For years, this has been happening in Russia, people are being beaten, killed in prisons, on the streets, and they want to establish this in Georgia. There is no one who can be protected from this system, it doesn't matter if you are a relative, an opponent of the system and the oligarchy, or someone else. Therefore, the main conclusion that we must draw is that cooperation with a criminal and terrorist regime is impossible, one cannot negotiate and cooperate with a criminal and a terrorist, and that is exactly what Bidzina Ivanishvili is today. The only thing that will end this system is unity, non-cooperation, resistance, and delegitimization of the regime. We, together with the Georgian society, will definitely fight together on this path," said Elene Khoshtaria.
