The activation of the OSCE “Moscow Mechanism” is a very serious and important signal - this is the first step taken to punish the Dream for the use of chemical weapons, - this is how Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, responds to the activation of the “Moscow Mechanism” by the OSCE on Georgia.
As Elene Khoshtaria writes, such steps are not taken by Western institutions without thinking about the next steps.
“The activation of the OSCE “Moscow Mechanism” is a very serious and important signal. 1. They not only do not recognize the Dream, they begin to act beyond them in Georgia; 2. This is the first step taken to punish the Dream for the use of chemical weapons; 3. This is a group that determines not only the chemical weapons, but also the general context created in the country; 4. Such steps are not taken by Western institutions without thinking about the next steps; 5. This is the result of public protest and the work of the opposition! Action brings results!", Khoshtaria writes.
As a reminder, due to the deterioration of the human rights situation in Georgia, 24 OSCE member states are creating an expert mission. The relevant statement was released by the British Foreign Office.
In particular, the statement notes that the 24 countries have activated the OSCE's "Moscow Mechanism" in order to create an expert mission due to the deterioration of the human rights situation in Georgia. They also call on Georgia to cooperate and facilitate the work of the mission.
