Unfortunately, Ms. Bochorishvili is busy spreading lies, she has become a propagandist for the “Georgian Dream” and Russia, - one of the leaders of “Lelo-Strong Georgia”, Salome Samadashvili, stated, responding to the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maka Bochorishvili, who said that “a significant part of the EU member states realizes the injustice of the current approaches towards Georgia”.

According to Salome Samadashvili, Maka Bochorishvili is not the country’s Foreign Minister, because “she is not lobbying for important political decisions for Georgia, but is trying to deceive the Georgian people on television, this is her only purpose”.

According to Samadashvili, no one in Brussels talkს to Maka Bochorishvili or the Georgian ambassador, and “if they don’t catch someone and shake their hand, the meeting is uncertain”.

“I spent the last week in Brussels, meeting with everyone who works on Georgian issues. Unlike Bochorishvili and her representative, who is called the ambassador in Brussels, no one meets either one or the other, unless they grab someone in the corridor and shake hands, the meeting is uncertain. No one talks to our ambassador in Brussels at all. Unlike them, we meet and talk to them, and we are very well informed about all the positions that exist in the European Union. There is an absolute consensus among all countries in the European Union that in order to start any type of political dialogue with Georgia, it is necessary to take concrete steps related to the abolition of repressive laws that Ivanishvili’s regime adopted, as well as the cessation of political persecution in the country and the cessation of anti-European rhetoric and propaganda from the ruling team,” Salome Samadashvili said.

Regarding current relations with the Trump administration and the information spread in the media that the US Department of State’s Deputy Assistant Secretary, Sonata Coulter, will arrive in Georgia in May, Salome Samadashvili states that if we want to evaluate her visit, we should look at “what topics she is working on, these are the challenges of human rights and democracy.”

“It’s very simple, first of all you can look at the profile of this person, what this person is doing, what topics she is working on, these are the challenges of human rights and democracy. Just as the European Union proposed to the current Georgian government to hold a dialogue with the European Union on the issue of human rights protection, today, including the US, is making a decision to [send] someone working in the field of human rights. It may not be a very high-ranking representation, but the direction is clear,” Salome Samadashvili stated.
