Chairman of the Girchi party said that he received what appeared to him a threatening call from the UNM Chairman Nika Melia.

“Nika Melia called me today. We had an unpleasant conversation. Unfortunately, I think he wanted to threaten me. Now I want to find out whether these were real threats, or perhaps Melia has an explosive temper in general.

He is physically bigger and stronger than me. As a member of the Parliament, I have the right to carry a weapon, if the circumstances threaten my well-being. If Melia confirms his threats towards me, I shall address the Parliament of Georgia to grant me permission to do so”, - said Iago Khvichia.
