Parliament Unanimously Supports Suspension of Kutsnashvili's Mandate

The Members of the Parliament of Georgia unanimously supported the early suspension of MP Zakaria Kutsnashvili’s mandate. The decision was taken by 96 votes at today’s plenary session.

Zakaria Kutsnashvili was the head of the Georgian delegation in the Inter-parliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy. He was one of the initiators and organizers of the Russian MPs visit to Georgia, including Sergei Gavrilov, who addressed the audience from the Parliament Speaker’s Chair in Russian, which led to severe protests in front of Parliament on June 20. After the notorious developments of June 20, Kutsnashvili applied to the Chair of the Parliament with the motion to suspend his mandate earlier.
