Chairman of the "Georgian Dream", Irakli Kobakhidze, responded to the statement of the coordinator of the international group working on Russian sanctions, Michael McFall, and said that "someone' seems to be irritated by the statements of the representatives of the special group". According to Kobakhidze, the special group, which was in Georgia a week ago, thanked the authorities for the fact that Georgia was not used to bypass sanctions.
" A special group that works on the topic of bypassing sanctions arrived in Georgia and the group confirmed and not only confirmed, thanked the Georgian authorities for not using Georgia for bypassing sanctions , on this background, the purpose of McFaul's interview can be defined - It seems that the statements made by representatives of the special group got on someone's nerves," Irakli Kobakhidze said.
In an interview with Radio Liberty Michael McFaul stated that there is "strong evidence" that Georgia is helping Russia to evade sanctions.
