We will not even discuss it | Papuashvili on Zelensky's address to the Georgian parliament

Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili responds to the statements of Lelo and the National Movement and says that the majority in the legislature will not discuss the initiative for the speech President of Ukraine.

He reiterates that this part of the opposition wants to heat up the situation in the country and draw it into war.

"As for the initiatives of this part of the opposition, you know that there was a demand for an extraordinary session, etc. We do not even enter into discussion of these initiatives, because we see what the aim is, and we have mentioned this many times. It's to have war in our country, to have an armed conflict.

Part of the Georgian opposition speaks on behalf of the Ukrainian government. Who wants to have a speech? They didn't even ask the Ukrainian government at all. This also shows us the real purpose behind it. 

The parliament recently sent the first humanitarian aid to Ukraine, which this part of the opposition did not take part in, he said.

"Not one Tetri, not one Tetri from this opposition came to send this humanitarian aid on behalf of parliament. This shows what the real intentions of this part of the opposition are, it is just PR to put it bluntly," he said.

Papuashvili said they also had a blood donation campaign, in which most of the opposition did not participate.
