In the Pankisi Gorge, there is a deliberate discrediting of Malkhaz Machalikashvili. According to Meka Khangoshvili, law enforcement agencies create permanent tensions in the gorge and high officials label Malkhaz Machalikashvili as a terrorist before the investigation is over.
Meka Khangoshvili also condemns the statement of Irakli Sesiashvili, member of the parliamentary majority, where he violated the presumption of innocence.
Meka Khangoshvili says that the authenticity of the record, where the fater of killed Temirlan speaks about revenge should be established. However, she says that the contents stemming from the Kisti traditions are unbelievable.
