The OSCE Chairman-in-Office, the Finnish Foreign Minister, blocked a road for the people of Tbilisi by participating in an illegal gathering and, in fact, showed us that the Georgian state means nothing, the path taken by Merab Kostava for our independence means nothing – she exchanged her reputation as the OSCE Chairman-in-Office into a 39-second video, – said the Chairman of the Georgian Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili.
According to him, the arrival of the Finnish Foreign Minister, the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, at Rustaveli showed that there is no international order based on rules and that only small and weak states are convinced of this idea.
“This speaks of one thing, that the Georgian people must once again realize one thing – there is no international order based on rules, all this is a chimera, a thought-out construct to impose on the small and weak and to talk to us as if there is some order, as if there are some norms that all states obey. Proof of this was the Finnish Foreign Minister, who was here with the mandate of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office. With her participation in the illegal gathering, she blocked a road for the people of Tbilisi, in fact, and thereby showed us that the Georgian state means nothing, the path taken by Merab Kostava means nothing for our independence, for our state, for our laws. All this means nothing, it is zero in the eyes of the Finnish Foreign Minister, and we mean nothing to her either, at all. She exchanged her reputation as the OSCE Chairman-in-Office into one 39-second video,” Papuashvili said.
For information, 2 days ago, the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, arrived at the rally in front of the parliament. Elina Valtonen spoke to the protest participants.
“I was there to see the demonstrations that have been taking place in Georgia for weeks and months. I wanted to express my support for freedom of speech,” Finnish media Helsingin Sanomat quotes Elina Valtonen as saying.
