Levan Varshalomidze, a former leader of the Adjara government in Georgia, has been arrested while traveling through an airport in Kazakhstan.
Varshalomidze is a member of the “National Movement” party. Party leaders claim that he was stopped by authorities at the border. They say that the reason for his arrest is related to allegations made by Russia about Varshalomidze’s work as a consultant for the Ukrainian government.
The party says that these claims are false and that there is a risk of Varshalomidze being sent back to Russia. To prevent this, the party is working with both Georgian and Kazakh authorities to get more information and ensure that a decision is made in the best interests of both countries.
Party leaders say that the case against Varshalomidze is baseless. They are trying to communicate with Ukrainian and Kazakh authorities to help Varshalomidze.
