Legal Affairs Committee Chair: Stating any position regarding Ukraine was perceived as anti-Georgian and anti-Ukrainian move; those who propagated this narrative should apologize to public

“Ukraine was promised immediate accession to the EU and NATO, but now the former Defense Minister says that NATO membership is a distant prospect, and no one knows if or when it will actually happen,” Archl Gorduladze, Chairman of the parliamentary Legal Affairs Committee, told GPB First Channel.

According to Gorduladze, representatives of different bureaucracies make similar statements.

“Anyone inquiring in Georgia when Ukraine becomes a member of NATO and the EU and by which criteria was deemed pro-Russian and was subject to bullying.

Those externally funded or implementing external directives were doing that. I call on these individuals to apologize to society. All this confirms that they have no place in public policy. You remember Salome Zourabichvili’s statement saying that Zelenskyy is welcomed with red carpets, while you remain like this. By ‘like this,’ she meant peace in Georgia.

If we trusted these people, who urged opening a second front in the country, we would be in a war like in Ukraine. Stating any position regarding Ukraine was perceived as an anti-Georgian and anti-Ukrainian move, whereas Georgia leads in terms of assistance provided to Ukraine. Those who propagated this narrative lied and should apologize to the public,” he said.
