“The Georgian government is not going to enter into a diplomatic scandal. However, the presence of Zurab Adeishvili (wanted former prosecutor General) in German Bundestag is extremely damaging to Western mood,” said Mamuka Mdinaradze, leader of the parliamentary majority.

Mamuka Mdinaradze called on everybody to take into account that Adeishvili sitting in Bundestag is the “primary source” of stirring anti-western and anti-European mood in Georgia.

“Mr. Adeishvili was on the rostrum intended for guests of the German Bundestag during the debate on February 22, as a member of the Ukrainian ambassador’s delegation. There was no reason based on the principles of the rule of law to ban Zurab Adeishvili from entering the parliament of Germany. This fact has nothing to do with the attitude towards the relations between Germany and Georgia,” the German Embassy said on March 7.

Georgia’s former Prosecutor General Zurab Adeishvili is convicted and wanted for several crimes in Georgia.
