Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili says that if the third president does not interfere in Georgian politics, it will be a good thing. According to him, delaying a sentence or transferring him abroad for humanitarian purposes has nothing to do with non-interference in politics.
"If he doesn't interfere in Georgian politics, that's certainly a good thing, because every day he has interfered in Georgian politics, he and his party have violated Georgian law, because he is not a citizen of Georgia, and moreover, he is a high ranking official of a foreign country and has directly violated Georgian legislation by this interference, if he intends not to interfere, that's very good. As for his punishment, it has nothing to do with his political activities," Papuashvili said.
