Neither lawyers, nor we, nor perhaps this society, believe that the fence of the presidential palace, which was supposed to be of exceptional strength, could be demolished by 4 people in 4 seconds, - this is how politician Irakli Nadiradze, who was detained in connection with the events near the Atoneli Palace, addressed the expert witness at the trial ongoing in the Tbilisi City Court.

Otar Khaburzania, a forensic expert, testified in court; it was he who conducted the examination of the Atoneli Palace fence.

"You said you are a lawyer. My great respect to all lawyers, but to be honest, I thought an engineer would be presented before us today. I understand that the de facto Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze is fighting engineers, the technical university, but basic subjects are taught at the Faculty of Construction, it would be logical for an engineer to be today. Many qualified questions were asked.

Was the fence cut? I wonder how many types of cuts do you know?", - Nadiradze addressed the expert, to which the latter replied that in general there can be many cuts, however, he did not see any traces of such a cut.

You have probably conducted many examinations and have probably heard of pneumatic cutting, did you check it out?", - the politician asked the expert, to which he gave a negative answer.

According to the testimony of the expert-trasologist, he arrived at the scene on October 5, and there were no signs of cutting. According to his testimony, he found the fence in a damaged state. The fence was made of metal, and the sections were joined by welding.
