Unfortunately, absolutely false information was spread by the BBC. The substance might be mixed in the water jet, but what substance was mixed is another matter. The BBC lied precisely in this regard - the substance Camite has not been used at all, - Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists in connection with the BBC's journalistic investigation.
According to him, "the BBC cannot be guided by the same standards that are guiding "fake televisions" in Georgia."
"Unfortunately, the BBC, which was a television station with a high reputation, is spreading such lies today. Of course, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Ministry will disseminate more detailed information on this topic. But I can tell you in advance that, unfortunately, absolutely false information was spread by the BBC. The BBC, international media, cannot be guided by the same standards that are guiding "fake televisions" in Georgia. However, we see that the standards are absolutely equalized in a negative sense. Even a simple lie can be told by television, in this case the BBC, which is sad and regrettable. When the BBC tells a lie, it needs to be properly assessed. It is proven with facts that it was a lie. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will disseminate information about this and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will once again provide you with detailed information about what lies the BBC told.
The fact that the BBC relies on Chakhunashvili's conclusion already speaks volumes about the level of standards on this television. This level is set very low. Everyone remembers well that the father and son Chakhunashvilis are enthusiastic participants in radical rallies. One of them participated in the storming of the presidential palace. When the BBC relies on such people, this is already a tragic event.
This substance was purchased in 2009. As for the specifically named substance, this specific material does not contain that substance at all. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will tell you in detail what lies the BBC spread. The substance might be mixed in the water jet, but what substance was mixed is another matter. The BBC lied precisely about this. The Minister of Internal Affairs will answer you about what substance was used. As for the substance Camite, the substance Camite has not been used at all. This is a simple lie. We shared detailed information with the BBC, however, the BBC relied on the statement of the father and son Chakhunashvilis, and not on our response. All this confirms that the BBC acted as “fake television,” Kobakhidze said.
