Natia Turnava on Otar Partskhaladze: Don’t ask me mothballed questions; all my orders are effective and correct - they have never been related to any specific individual

“All my orders are effective and correct,” National Bank of Georgia President Natia Turnava said in response to a journalist’s question: “Do you regret acting in Otar Partskhaladze’s defence years ago?”

According to Turnava, her decisions have never been related to “any specific individual.”

“Don’t ask me mothballed questions. All my orders are effective and correct... My orders have never been related to any specific individual,” Turnava told a TV Pirveli journalist.

For reference, in September 2023, following the United States’ sanctions against former Chief Prosecutor Otar Partskhaladze, the National Bank of Georgia amended its procedure for enforcing international sanctions. The amendment stipulated that international sanctions would apply to Georgian citizens only after a corresponding court ruling in Georgia had entered into force.
