Former prime minister`s extensive interview and critical assessments

The former Prime Minister answered journalists" questions after meeting at the National Examination Center. The first question asked was about Rustavi 2. Like the members of theGoverment, Ivanishvili assessed developments around the broadcasting company as a private dispute and said that despite the widespread opinion he has nothing to do with this process. However, he reiterated his sympathy towards one of the sides of the dispute.

The only thing he did not agree with was the decision of judge Urtmelidze to appoint temporary managers so fast. Although, according to Ivanishvili, this is not a problem either. However, Rustavi 2 motion filed in the Constitutional Court is more problematic for the former Prime Minister.

The involvement of Bidzina Ivanishvili in various processes has been discussed both in Georgia and abroad. However, Ivanishvili deems as less adequate the considerations of international society, authoritative organizations, diplomats, foreign media and foreign ambassadors to Georgia. He says that all of them have been misled.

The only one about whom the former Prime Minister spoke in the positive context was Irma Inashvili. The former Prime Minister ruled out the election fraud and called on Inashvili to stop hunger strike.

Ivanishvili confirmed today that he was involved in solving natural gas issues and intended to take part in the negotiations with Iran. The former Prime Minister found no problems in the Russian gas either.
