“Now the number of cases in Strasbourg will increase because this has created a precedent and opened the door,” - said the founder of the Strategic Analysis Center, Nodar Kharshiladze, while discussing the European Court of Human Rights ruling on the June 20 case on PalitraNews’ program “Resume.”
According to Kharshiladze, Georgian Dream will face even more international problems.
“This is quite an old case. After that, more issues arose, and the BBC presented reasonable suspicion in its investigation that not rubber bullets, but deadly chemical weapons were used. Therefore, Georgian Dream will face even more international problems.
If this had been the Georgian Dream of 2018–2019, they would have survived even the BBC scandal. But today’s Georgian Dream, which has openly confronted the European Union and its own people, will find it difficult. Earlier they did such things secretly; now they do it openly - with statements, letters, insults.
In the Russian Federation, which is in a full-scale confrontation with the European Union, even they do not do such things. No one attacks the German ambassador in Moscow.
It is absolutely correct to point out that now the number of cases in Strasbourg will increase, because this ruling created a precedent and opened the door.
No matter how happy they are, and no matter how much they blame Giorgi Gakharia - their party was the one in power at the time,” Kharshiladze said.
