“Restoration of trust” are completely empty words and there is no political content behind them. Moreover, in Kobakhidze’s performance, it is Ivanishvili’s version of “apologizing,” – this is how one of the leaders of “Coalition for Change,” Nika Gvaramia, responded to the explanation made by the country’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze regarding the motives for the supply of fuel to the territory of occupied Abkhazia.

In addition, as Gvaramia noted, in September–October the public will become a witness to a “series of betrayals” of open rapprochement with Russia and open distancing from the European Union.

“‘Restoration of trust’ are completely empty words and there is no political content behind them. Moreover, in Kobakhidze’s performance, it is Ivanishvili’s version of ‘apologizing.’

You have to make such a proposal to the Abkhazians and Ossetians that they cannot refuse, and yes, I imagine such a proposal as: ‘Come into the European Union with me and we will have a free, safe and secure life together in a common state called Georgia.’

This is the ‘proposal’ from the formula mentioned above. And the ‘they cannot refuse’ part is a multi-component issue, and what we put into it is also for us to decide and depends on our skill and work.

As for Kobakhidze’s text today: I have said before and I will say again that in September–October we will become witnesses to a series of the heaviest betrayals in the form of open rapprochement with Russia and open distancing from the European Union. We must prepare for a united powerful response and, I will not lie, also for a new heavy wave of repressions,” Gvaramia stated.

For information, according to the explanation of the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, when issuing the permit for the supply of fuel by business to the territory of occupied Abkhazia, the government was motivated by the restoration of trust with the occupied territories.

According to the Prime Minister’s information, as of yesterday approximately 680 tons of fuel had entered occupied Abkhazia from the territory controlled by Georgia’s central government.
