The largest part of US funding goes to NGOs, so it is less interesting for us, the NGOs should worry about it - Irakli Kobakhidze on Senator Shaheen’s statement

The largest part of US funding goes to NGOs, so it is less interesting for us – the NGOs should worry about it. Such a statement made the Chairman of the Georgian Dream, while responding to Senator Shaheen’s statement regarding the revision of the issue of financing for Georgia.

“As for the unfair criticism, it has no value for us. Only criticism that has a concrete basis can have a value. In this case, we once again heard unfair criticism, and such criticism means nothing to us. NGOs should worry about their funding. The largest part of US funding goes to NGOs.

I have heard from one former ambassador that reservations are irrelevant because they work through NGOs. This was said by the former US Ambassador, not me, and I am practically repeating the same.

So, whether non-governmental organizations will be financed or not, let them worry about it, we can’t worry about it. I don’t think it will happen because the financing of NGOs is, of course, in the interests of that country”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
