**Georgian MP Denounces Media Lie on OSCE Resolution**
In a strong response to what she calls a “shameful lie”, Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, Maia Bitadze, has come out to clarify Georgia’s stance on a recent OSCE resolution. According to Bitadze, the media reports that suggested Georgia supported the entire resolution are completely untrue.
**The Real Story Behind the Resolution**
Bitadze explained that the Georgian delegation made tough statements during the committee hearings and plenary session because they were protesting changes initiated by American Congressman Joe Wilson in the draft resolution. These amendments were also backed by certain other delegations, which had a significant number of votes. As a result, Georgia did not support the entire resolution.
**A Clear Lie with an Underlying Agenda**
According to Bitadze, the media lie aims to discredit a successful amendment to the text of the resolution that was requested and submitted by the Georgian delegation. This amendment called for the withdrawal of recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia by the new Syrian government. By denying this achievement, the media is trying to undermine Georgia’s efforts.

The spread of false information can have serious consequences, especially when it comes to national interests and international affairs. It is crucial for the public to be able to trust the information they receive from media outlets.
