Who owns the cargo ship that stood in Batumi's marine waters for two days and whether Russian sanctioned cargo entered the country or not. The leader of "Droa" party, Elene Khoshtaria, held a special briefing on this issue.
He called the statement of the Ministry of Economy "complete absurdity" and said that the party members measured its trajectory, "which is 340 kilometers and it is absolutely impossible for a ship leaving Tuapse to stop in Batumi to take water."
"... the Ministry of Economy in this statement, after the alarm was raised by the "Mtavari Channel", does not name what cargo we were dealing with. If there is nothing to hide, if there is no problem, why don't you say what cargo we are dealing with, especially when it comes to a tanker and according to our information, this sanctioned cargo is the of the sanctioned "Rosneft", in particular, oil, and we did not hear any explanation regarding this, they did not say anything about what it is, what cargo was being talked about.
There is an international protocol, introduced by America, which describes exactly what level of transparency should be in cargo transportation. What are the questions, what information should be published so that it is transparent and we know that the cargo is not sanctioned", says Khoshtaria.
