We would like to emphasize that Nino Burjanadze did not apologize to anyone, especially regarding Gavrilov’s visit. In all of her speeches, both in Georgia and Russia, has always claimed that Sergei Gavrilov did not sit in the chair of the parliament’s chairman by the own initiative, but the Government of Georgia put him there and could not even protect the guest when the situation worsened. This is what was reiterated at the meeting with Kosachyov – she said the fact was regrettable but did not apologize for”, - reads the statement of the party.

Russian information agency TASS spread information, according to which Nino Burjanadze, the leader of the oppositional party Democratic Movement - United Georgia, during the meeting with Konstantin Kosachyov apologized for Gavrilov’s night.
