Prime Minister Gakharia Resigns

“I want to believe that this step will help reduce polarization in the political sphere, because I am convinced that polarization and confrontation between us is the biggest risk for the future of our country.” – PM Giorgi Gakharia

Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia announced today that he is resigning.

He explained that he considers it unjust to arrest UNM Chairman Nika Melia in conditions when there is a danger of political escalation, and had chosen to resign because he could not reach an agreement with his team.

“Unfortunately, I could not reach a joint opinion with my team on this issue, so I decided to resign. I want to believe that this step will help reduce polarization in the political sphere, because I am convinced that polarization and confrontation between us is the biggest risk for the future of our country,” he said.

Last night, Tbilisi City Court satisfied a motion of the Prosecutor’s Office and ruled to use the pre-trial detention measure against Nika Melia, Chairman of the opposition United National Movement party.
