Bidzina Ivanishvili chose Irakli Gharibashvili in order to say no to negotiations, said a member of the United National Movement Tina Bokuchava her televised interview with “Dgis Kurieri”, Rustavi 2.

“All partners emphasize that de-escalation of the existing situation is now critical in the country. [Irakli] Gharibashvili’s election as the Prime Minister and the empty rhetoric we have had from this ignorant high official from the podium clearly points to the fact that [Bidzina] Ivanishvili is against the peaceful settlement of the conflict. He is against negotiations and favors violence. He chose a radical, militant, and member of the Black Hundreds, [Irakli] Gharibashvili, not to sit at the negotiating table.

But [Irakli] Gharibashvili will have to hold negotiations under any circumstances, as international partners will not allow violent conflicts in the country”, - said Tina Bokuchava.
