Perhaps he should have allowed him inside the country with the sour cream and let him go back - Irakli Kobakhidze

"Perhaps he should have allowed him inside the country with the sour cream and let him go back. That probably would have been humane, but as far as the state was concerned, the state did what the system was supposed to do. This man was arrested as a criminal. and is serving his sentence in a proper institution."

This was stated by the chairman of the Georgian Dream Irakli Kobakhidze in response to the U.S. State Department's report on the third president of Georgia.
