Sandro Darakhvelidze can speak very boldly with European bureaucrats about human rights, - this is how Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze answered a question about the participation of the authorized Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Aleksandre Darakhvelidze, in the discussions on the state of human rights in Georgia at the UN.

“You know that these sanctions are shameful and this sanction itself, which is imposed on this worthy person, is a violation of human rights. Therefore, Sandro Darakhvelidze can speak very boldly with European bureaucrats about human rights,” - Kobakhidze said.

In addition, the Prime Minister answered a question that “according to Finnish investigative media, Georgian companies are involved in the process of helping Russia [to avoid sanctions].” According to Kobakhidze, Georgia is not being used to circumvent sanctions.

"You have made many such speculative statements, which are anti-state. Each time, including by commission, our partners have confirmed that no such fact has ever occurred. Accordingly, you can continue to make anti-state statements, although the commission has established that Georgia is not used to circumvent sanctions.

Don't worry. The commission has established that our country is not used to circumvent sanctions. You, of course, want to harm the interests of our state, but you cannot do this because the commission has established the opposite of what you claim. When it comes to your media outlets, of course, lies are your signature. Which Finnish one? BBC and Finnish investigative ones are the same for me," Kobakhidze said.
