Shalva Papuashvili - I don't know what made Gakharia's party happy about the Strasbourg Court's decision, they want to portray that they are in a good position

Based on the Strasbourg Court's decision, the Georgian Prosecutor's Office launched an additional investigation, as a result of which Gakharia was remanded in custody - he is now seeking asylum in the European Union, so questions are being directed to the European Union. I think Brussels and Strasbourg should figure it out between themselves, - Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili told journalists, thus assessing the decision of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights, which concerns the events of June 20-21, 2019.

According to Papuashvili, he does not know "what made Gakharia's party happy about this decision," because this decision did not prove Gakharia's innocence.

"Ultimately, this was a decision of the Grand Chamber, which confirmed the decision issued earlier. Therefore, there was nothing particularly new in this regard. It was precisely on the basis of the Strasbourg Court's decision that the Georgian Prosecutor's Office launched an additional investigation. Taking into account all the circumstances revealed as a result of the investigative actions carried out on the basis of this decision, Giorgi Gakharia was charged, including subjected to pre-trial detention. He is currently taking refuge in the territory of the European Union. Now the questions are directed to the European Union and Germany, in this case, where he is now. The Strasbourg Court's decision is clear. The Prosecutor's Office has honestly fulfilled its obligations, the investigation is underway. Other circumstances may be revealed. I think Brussels and Strasbourg should clarify things between each other. Will Brussels recognize the Strasbourg decisions and the necessity of conducting an investigation based on this decision?

I also saw the responses yesterday, I don't know what Gakharia's party was happy about in this decision. it seems they are trying to pretend that there are in a good position”, said Papaushvili.
