The topic of sanctions is absolutely not serious, especially considering that Bidzina Ivanishvili is subject to de facto sanctions. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

“As soon as this blackmail and de facto sanctions end, any meeting can be held right away, but today this is Bidzina Ivanishvili’s position on this topic. Therefore, just as such blackmail and threats did not fly since March 2022, when his funds were frozen after the war in Ukraine, neither will such blackmail and threats fly now. That is, no one can make Bidzina Ivanishvili take steps against the state by blackmail and threats. The sanctions in itself mean blackmail, the sanctions in themselves contains blackmail and threats, so it is not a serious topic considering all these circumstances”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
