It is important that the UK continues and accelerates sanctions against Ivanishvili and his elite in order to return the citizens of Georgia to the path of democratic and Euro-Atlantic development, said Tina Bokuchava, the chairwoman of the National Movement, following meetings held at the UK Foreign Office.
According to Bokuchava, the UK sanctions are particularly important because “Ivanishvili has a large amount of assets in the UK and offshore territories.”
“A few minutes ago, I finished a meeting at the British Foreign Office, where we discussed the need to continue the sanctions policy. In addition, it should affect Ivanishvili himself and his financial circle, his elite, and propagandists. The British sanctions are especially important because Ivanishvili has a large amount of assets in Britain and offshore territories. Therefore, the continuation and acceleration of the sanctions policy is a top priority. We also discussed the so-called Weimar Plus cooperation format, where Great Britain, Germany, Poland, and France will strengthen their efforts. In addition, cooperation and coordination in order to effectively exert pressure on the autocratic regime. Also, to give Georgia and its citizens the opportunity to return to the path of democratic Euro-Atlantic development,” said Tina Bokuchava.
