The BBC is on the path to disgrace itself - the BBC has been brought down from its height by those who use it for political influence and the development of shadowy processes, - the First Vice-Speaker of the Parliament, Gia Volski, told journalists.

According to him, the BBC prepared a story that does not correspond to reality.

As Volski notes, it remains to be investigated to what extent this process was connected with a conspiracy that may have aimed to damage Georgia's authority.

“If we look at the evidence on the basis of which the BBC story was artificially created, of course, neither the parrot’s feather loss nor the fact that the dog did not recognize its owner for 2 weeks can withstand criticism. It remains to be investigated to what extent this process was connected with a conspiracy that may have had the goal of damaging Georgia’s authority.

The miracle is that Kezerashvili won the dispute with the BBC; today, for Kezerashvili’s television, the BBC is the last instance of truth. The situation is changing, perceptions are changing. Of course, the BBC, which we thought was the most authoritative and fair, is on the path to embarrassing itself. They made a story about Trump, where they portrayed him as an obvious culprit. At the same time, they artificially falsified certain statements. Imagine who we are dealing with. The British Prime Minister also states the same thing. It is unfortunate, but the BBC has been brought down from a height by those who use it for political influence and the development of shadowy processes," Volski said.

For information, according to the BBC, the evidence collected by them suggests that Georgia's authorities used a World War One-era chemical weapon to quell anti-government protesters last year. The BBC World Service spoke to chemical weapons experts, whistleblowers from Georgia's riot police, and doctors, and found the evidence points to the use of an agent that the French military named "camite".

According to the State Security Service, on the night of December 4-5, the substance "chlorobenzylidene malononitrile" was used to control the crowds, which was dissolved in a solution of "propylene glycol". According to them, none of them belong to the prohibited category – as for "camite", it has never been purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
