The most destructive force, the United National Movement, used the protest of the citizens. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia, while commenting the visit of Russian journalist Vladimir Pozner.

“Vladimir Pozner, who is also a US citizen, did not violate the law of occupation. He frequently visits Georgia with his US passport. That was another private visit. He and his guests had the so-called COVID-passports and negative PCR test results.

As for the gathering at one of the Tbilisi hotel without considering the regulations, this is, of course, unacceptable for us, and the relevant agencies had an immediate response and imposed fines on both the hotel and each individual”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.

He also echoed the rally that protested against Russian journalist.

“A group of our citizens decided to protest, but the most destructive force, the United National Movement, used the developments to destroy, sabotage and cause maximum damage to our country, to tarnish the international image of Georgia. When country is working to partly open for tourists, which is crucial for the tourism sector and the economic revival in general, the form of protest chosen by the UNM leaders clearly violated civilized norms and Georgian standards”, - concluded the Head of the Government.
