“We fight for justice, we believe that Georgia’s place is in the European Union. We want democracy in this country, normal development, and positioning among developed countries. Do you know what this case is about? It is about stopping this fight, rejecting fighting for justice and Georgia’s European integration,” said Giorgi Vashadze, leader of the Strategy Aghmashenebeli party.

According to Vashadze, the case, which will be heard in the court, has no witnesses.

“Blank piece of paper and 15 years, there is nothing else in this case. You can ask the prosecutor about my case and its materials. Let the prosecutor name two pieces of evidence. They say it contains recordings, audio. Let the prosecutor bring them. Nothing is there in the case materials, and there is no witness in the 15-year case, just a blank piece of paper.

They tell us to stop fighting for justice, for Georgia’s integration into the European Union; they tell us to reject Georgia’s democratic development, equal living rights for everyone in this country. We believe in that, keep faith, and that is why we are in politics. Let us see the rest,” Vashadze said.
