Shalva Papuashvili: For us, what matters is not the "Moscow Mechanism" and Brussels' instrument, but the truth - the person was in Georgia for only 2 days and already prepared the document, do you doubt that this is a pre-written text and the rest was just packaging?

For us, what matters is not the "Moscow Mechanism" and Brussels' instrument, but the truth - this person was in Georgia for only 2 days and the document is already supposed to be published - do you doubt that this is a pre-written text and the rest was simply packaging?! From the very beginning it was obvious that this is an attempt to stitch together a case against the Georgian people, - stated Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili while speaking about the "Moscow Mechanism."

According to him, this is an attempt to use an international institution as a weapon against another nation.

"The only recommendations we take into account are those of the Georgian people. That is the source of power, and above all, we look at that. As for this 'Russian mechanism' that was used against Georgia - this says a lot about those 24 countries that made this decision. If I remember correctly, Ukraine also supported it. If someone feels pain in their heart about gratitude and ingratitude, this is the Ukrainian authorities' gratitude toward the Georgian people - attacking the Georgian people with Moscow's instruments. The whole process we saw was strange. Just a few days after this decision was made, a person was selected who has no connection to Georgia and no in-depth knowledge of the Georgian political landscape. He arrived in a few days and prepared some document in 2 days. This is unserious. Moreover, judging from the questions asked during the meetings, the issues covered elections, higher education reform, prisoners, violence - everything. In other words, we will see a Polish view of Georgia's recent history in this report. This is, of course, unserious. What is there to evaluate at all?! For us, what matters is not the 'Moscow Mechanism' and Brussels' instrument, but the truth. We have already heard so many lies from Brussels and other capitals - what trust should we have?!

This is an attempt to use an international institution as a weapon against another nation. Only a few weeks have passed since the decision was made, and the report is now supposed to be published. Have you seen such reports and the work behind them?! Do you doubt that this is a pre-written text and the rest was simply packaging?! This person was in Georgia for only 2 days. What can one understand about Georgia in 2 days to then dedicate many pages of conclusions to it? From the very beginning it was obvious that this is an attempt to stitch together a case against the Georgian people," - stated Papuashvili.

While speaking about the "Moscow Mechanism," the Parliament Speaker also recalled the example of Georgia's third president.

"We are value-wise completely at odds with these people. What should we explain to them? To Ms. Gosiewska, who spoke yesterday - what should we tell her? This person is in love with Mikheil Saakashvili. What can we do? She sees this man as a knight of democracy riding a white horse. This is an attitude. What can we do, how can we convince her, how can we bring her out of this obsession she has toward Mikheil Saakashvili?! And then these people come out and speak to the Georgian people with serious faces," - stated Papuashvili.
