Georgian Government Criticized for Silence on Sanctioned Cargo Transport
Former Georgian Minister Paata Zakareishvili has expressed his concerns about the transportation of sanctioned cargo through Georgia. In an interview, he stated that a prior agreement was made with the Georgian government to allow Russia to transport cargo from Abkhazia, a breakaway region in Georgia.
Zakareishvili believes that the Georgian government’s silence on this matter is due to its interest in benefiting from the transportation of cargo through its territory. He pointed out that statistical data shows that exports and imports in Georgia have doubled or tripled, with significant amounts going to Abkhazia. The expert thinks that Russia will start using the Sukhumi Airport for transporting cargo once it is renovated.
The former minister also criticized the Georgian government’s foreign policy, accusing “Georgian Dream” of continuing its election campaign and using rhetoric that is more paranoid than Hitler’s. Zakareishvili believes that this messaging is aimed at deceiving the electorate and creating an image of an enemy. He hopes that people will see through this and stop believing in these claims.
