It is very interesting what he based this conclusion on - when we are talking about eliminating something, I would advise Brussels and all those institutions, services or individuals who make completely unclear and unfounded statements to assess the situation a little more objectively and issue objective instructions when someone comes here to assess something, - this is how Majority Leader Irakli Kirtskhalia responded to the memorandum published by the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Michael O'Flaherty.

According to him, this is an unfair, shameless and insulting approach towards our country.

“It is very interesting what he based this conclusion on. When we are talking about eliminating something, I would advise Brussels and all those institutions, services or individuals who make completely unclear and unfounded statements to be evaluated a little objectively and given an objective task when someone comes here to evaluate something.

As for the laws, I think they mean the laws on “transparency”, “family values” and “demonstrations” - any law that is adopted in parliament serves only the best interests of our country.

We all remember each of the listed laws well. When there was a draft law, we were open and ready for any discussion and openly said that we would enter into a discussion, whether open or closed, about what problems you see in the law “On Transparency”, in the law “On Protection of Family Values”, in relation to “demonstrations”.

They cannot approach anything objectively, because they are not objective. Along with all this, we see that masquerade and that outdated PR show, when they branded them: “Russian law”, “regime law”, etc. Friends, this scenario and these message boxes of theirs have become outdated. We see similar, even more severe sanctions in their countries. This is precisely the unfair, shameless and insulting approach towards our country”, - stated Irakli Kirtskhalia.

For information, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Michael O’Flaherty, has published a memorandum calling on the Georgian authorities to make progress in ensuring accountability for the use of disproportionate force against protesters and to repeal legislation restricting freedom of assembly, association and expression in Georgia.

The Commissioner notes that the recommendations presented in the March 2025 memorandum remain relevant. In particular, he reiterates the need to effectively investigate allegations of ill-treatment and excessive use of force by law enforcement officials, hold perpetrators accountable and ensure full reparation for survivors.
