Ana Tsitlidze has put forward concrete questions. Therefore, when she calls for a debate, anyone holding a contrary view ought to sit down with her face-to-face rather than levelling insults at her or other UNM members. Such a statement made today Chairman of the Interim Governing Council of the United National Movement [UNM].

He should refrain from issuing such insulting statements and instead provide practical answers to the questions raised. Government propaganda screaming about what is supposedly occurring within opposition ranks, while their own figures race to turn state’s evidence against each other, is simply comical. Senior Georgian Dream officials must be running out of pens to sign confessions with when they attempt to lecture others”, - said Irakli Pavlenishvili.

He also commented on claims made by Nika Gvaramia alleging that the UNM had also sought to cooperate with former Prime Minister Nika Gilauri.

“We have practical, businesslike questions to which we receive no answers; only slander and idle gossip. This claim is another baseless rumour lacking any foundation. The simplest resolution is to sit down for a debate, but when you refuse to do so, the motive becomes transparent”, - added Irakli Pavlenishvili.
