“We have decided to nominate 11 senior officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Order of Honor after the inauguration,” stated Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze at today’s press conference.

As the head of government noted, if any official experiences any financial losses due to sanctions, the Georgian state will fully ensure compensation for these losses.

“With regard to our response to sanctions, particularly financial sanctions, if any official incurs financial losses as a result of these measures, the Georgian state will fully compensate for those losses. This response is not merely a reaction to sanctions or an unjust decision; it is primarily a response to the honorable actions taken by representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is a matter of dignity and humanity.
