Sergei Gavrilov on Gakharia’s Candidacy for PM Post

Sergei Gavrilov, Russian Parliamentarian, has commented on the recent shifts in the Georgian Government and the candidacy of Giorgi Gakharia for the position of Prime Minister of Georgia.

“The future Head of the Georgian Government, who will not be dependent on the President of Georgia, will have enough courage to hold negotiations with Russia openly, in order to restore collaboration,” stated Gavrilov, noting that Gakharia was distinguished with his firm stance during the events taking place in the month of June this year.

The Russian MP visited Georgia on June 19 to lead the General Assembly of the Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy, which sparked severe protests in public and led to major demonstrations.
