Giorgi Baramidze's statement was absolutely disgusting, with his shameful, false statements he touched on everything Georgian, Georgian culture, Georgian humanity, our civilization, which is shameful, - Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists.

As the Prime Minister noted, such a lie cannot be explained and this shows the nature of the collective National Movement.

“There were some negative comments from the collective National Movement regarding Baramidze, but look at the overall attitude of the collective National Movement towards Baramidze’s statement as a whole, and also look at the coverage of this issue by their party television stations – they are ignoring it.

Baramidze made a shameful statement and no party television station dares to make a decent comment on it. Why? Because these television stations are also ordinary party agents, they also follow external orders,” Irakli Kobakhidze said.

As a reminder, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Georgia has launched an investigation into the fact of treason and sabotage. In particular, the case concerns an interview given to Iago Khvichia by one of the leaders of the “National Movement”, Giorgi Baramidze, in which he notes that during the war in Abkhazia “we had no prisoners, Georgians did not held captives, they were shooting them”. After that, Giorgi Baramidze made an explanation regarding the above, noting that “the situation he is talking about changed later, namely after his arrival, and “if it had not changed, they would not have been able to exchange 200 Georgians with the separatist side”. Later, Giorgi Baramidze stated that "in the first days of the war, when exchanging prisoners or other difficult processes, it would have been better to use a different word." "I never said that our people were shooting those who were captured, I never saw that and I don't know any facts about it," Baramidze stated.
