Bedineishvili - Americans' anger does not arise in an empty space

Financier Giga Bedinaishvili talks about the reasons for the criticism of the Georgian government by American high-ranking officials in the " Cometer " TV program " Formula ".

"There are two reasons: a blow to the interests of Americans and the desire of Americans to increase prosperity in the country. For this, of course, it is important to improve the investment situation as a whole.

Georgian Dream politics and Bidzina Ivanishvili's actions threatened American businesses. "Naturally, the American establishment would have reacted to this from different angles - be it Congress or Mike Pompeo ," Bedineishvili said .

Bedineishvili says that the criticism of the Americans is directly related to the mood in Georgia and the main challenges of the country, which, according to him, the government of the Georgian Dream does not understand.

"I think the Georgian Dream does not appreciate and does not understand that the Americans are listening to the mood here. The anger of the Americans does not arise in an empty space. They see very well that one of the major challenges to Georgia is the economic situation and declining investment. "Something will help and the economy will develop somehow," Bedineishvili said .

On July 27, Congressmen wrote a letter to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo about Georgia, stating that "Russian oligarch Ivanishvili" and the Georgian Dream government were expelling American businesses from the Georgian private sector in favor of Russian, Chinese and Iranian investments.

The congressmen demanded a meeting with Pompeo to agree on further steps to raise the issue of Georgian accountability.

July 27 pompeom telephone conversation with Prime Minister Gakharia judicial independence for further steps towards the called, which, he said, foreign investment is vital to the process.

Over the past year, a number of US congressmen and senators have written critical letters to the Georgian government over issues related to the Frontera and Anaklia consortium, as well as issues related to the electoral system and the judiciary.

It is important that any message or statement coming from members of Congress be taken seriously, - US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan told reporters when commenting on the letter sent by six Congressmen to Mike Pompeo.

According to her, they are people who have been observing Georgia for years and care for its success.

"I had relations with both the ruling party and the opposition, and I want to say that Georgia has leaders committed to the best interests of the country and they are doing their best to help the country achieve success, prosperity, security and economic stability," Degnan said

Senator Jim Risch: Salome Zourabichvili should pardon Mr. Rurua
Jim Risch, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has responded to the verdict delivered against Giorgi Rurua, co-founder of the Mtavari TV. In response to a question asked by VOA's Georgian service, the Senator said the judiciary should not be used for political purposes.

"I'm very concerned about Mr Giorgi Rurua's verdict on the fictitious charges. The judiciary should never be used for political purposes.

Ahead of the elections, in the interests of depolarization of the political climate, Salome Zourabichvili should pardon Mr. Rurua, as she did in the cases of Giorgi Ugulava and Irakli Okruashvili.

I am very happy that necessary changes have been made to the electoral system of Georgia and I expect to see free and fair elections in October. However, the elections will be free and fair only if the political parties are able to act freely, without the fear of political persecution," the Senator was quoted as saying by VOA's Georgian service.

For perspective - Natia Turnava / born 19 October 1968, Moscow, Russian SSR, USSR / Alma mater: Tbilisi State University

Sorry guys i missed the headline -

Turnava - Frontera's attempt to overshadow US-Georgia relations is weak

https://formulanews.ge/News/34348

" We decided to extend the contract with Frontera because we appreciate the relationship with our strategic partner - the United States," said Natia Turnava , Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development .

As he noted, the Georgian government had every opportunity to terminate the contract because the company was unable to perform its duties.

"Although all the principal claims of the Georgian side were supported by international arbitration and we had a full opportunity, we terminated the contract with ' Frontera ' because they could not fulfill their duties and substantially violated the agreement. We decided to keep the company within its license area. Extract and continue mining operations within the timeframe set by the contract. "We made this decision because we highly value our relationship with our strategic partner, the United States, and we care about the investment environment, the image that Georgia has," Turnava said .

According to him, all the attempts of " Frontera " to cast a shadow on the relations between Georgia and the United States are fruitless and weak.

" Another attempt by the company will be that some of our partners, some congressmen, will be embarrassed, because incorrect, misinformation will be provided to them by Frontera and their lobbyists," the economy minister said.

According to him, many friends of Georgia perceive the imprisonment of Giorgi Rurua as a political decision.

"Many friends of Georgia perceive the arrest of media owner Giorgi Rurua as a political decision, and now his imprisonment. I call on the President of Georgia to exercise his authority, as he did with the other persons who were part of the March 8 agreement. It would improve the pre-election climate, "Anna Fotiga wrote on Twitter .

Arsenal - its good to get an all round perspective of the true situation in Georgia . I think the government are going to get a big backlash from the international community for the court cases.

"The verdict against Giorgi Rurua was clear even on November 18, 2019, when he was arrested," - Gigi Ugulava, one of the leaders of "European Georgia", responds to the sentence of 4 years imprisonment for Giorgi Rurua .

According to him, the Georgian court is a " corporation of scoundrels and monsters", which fulfills the order of Bidzina Ivanishvili.

According to Ugulava, the Georgian Dream government will be defeated in the October 2020 elections and the current judges will leave the court.

"This verdict, which we heard from this judge today, was clear on November 18, 2019, when Giorgi Rurua was arrested. This is not a court. This is a monster corporation. Ivanishvili took over the whole court from his servant - Murusidze .

It is an absolutely unfair and unjustified decision. Then do not be surprised why there is such a total distrust of the investigation. We are finally seeing today that the courts are empty walls where Chmor judges are imprisoned. This is a monster and the disgraced Corporation. Authorities change and these monsters become even stronger and filled with human blood. The Georgian people will soon see the expulsion of these judges by punch.

Our plan is to defeat the Georgian Dream in the elections. "Our country was ousted from Sololaki Palace while Bidzina Ivanishvili is in power. Ordinary people will not be able to find justice in this country ," Gigi Ugulava said.

"This is another bad page in the history of our country, when the court is very openly fulfilling its political order," said Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of European Georgia, regarding the detention of Giorgi Rurua.

As he noted, the ruling was politically motivated verdict output "will have to pay a great price."

"Those who watched the trial were arguing in every trial exactly the opposite of what the verdict was today. It was argued that Giorgi Rurua was indeed planted with a weapon, indeed there was a special operation on the political mark of his persecution. Understandably, this is not a legal process. This is exactly what needs to end in our country. It does not matter who sits in the place of this victim today. There is no court in this country and Giorgi Rurua is a political prisoner. "Giorgi Rurua will definitely come out, and the Georgian Dream will pay a great price," Khoshtaria said

Salome Samadashvili, a member of the United National Movement, responds to Giorgi Rurua's 4-year prison sentence and assesses the judge's decision as an insult to the country.

As Samadashvili told "Formula", the judiciary in the country has lost its independence and this institution fulfills the personal tasks of the leader of the ruling party, Bidzina Ivanishvili.

"It is an insult to the state. It is an insult to any citizen, regardless of political views. We simply do not have a court in the country. There is such an expression - a kangaroo court, which is used in failed states. This is how Georgia was formed in Ivanishvili's hands," Samadashvili said.

According to him, the rule of "Georgian Dream" should end in October.

"In a country where there is no independent judiciary, a written instruction is sent to a judge, a man is falsified and a weapon is planted - this reality must be changed by elections at the end of October. Living in such a state is dangerous for any citizen - this is a reality," he said.

Political side of things getting really interesting ..... sorry for all the formula news this morning ( not their rep honest !!! )

Tbilisi City Court found Giorgi Rurua, a shareholder of the Main Channel, guilty.

The judge sentenced Rurua to 4 years in prison.

Recall that Giorgi Rurua, who was helping the movement " Shame " financially, was arrested on November 18 last year on charges of illegal possession of firearms. He was later charged with non-compliance with a court order and obstruction. Rurua pleads not guilty.

The release of Giorgi Rurua is part of the March 8 agreement reached between the opposition and the government.

Georgian Dream still denies the existence of the second part of the agreement, however, amid pressure from the opposition and Western partners, the Georgian president has already pardoned Ugulava and Okruashvili.

European and American politicians and high-ranking officials have repeatedly called on the government to release Rurua.

Anaklia Development Consortium and major foreign investor are suing Georgia. The lawsuits relate to the compensation of significant damage to the consortium as a result of the government campaign during the implementation of the Anaklia Port project .

Anaklia Development Consortium and Mr. Bob Meyer, one of ADC's investors, filed independent arbitration claims against Georgia on July 29 over their infringed rights in the Anaklia Port project. With these two lawsuits, ADC and Mr. Bob Meyer are seeking redress for their violated rights in the project. "The amount of this claim is large, exceeding $ 1 billion, and consists of the loss of ADC and Mr. Meyer , which is a direct result of the Georgian government's campaign to undermine the Anaklia port project," the statement said.

According to the Anaklia Consortium, the Georgian government was conducting a covert campaign against the Anaklia Consortium to prevent the Anaklia project from being implemented. As we read in the statement, government officials have repeatedly criticized the project and its shareholders in both public and private meetings. Potential investors and funders were even told that the government did not want to participate in their project, which was a clear confirmation to US government officials that the project did not have the support of the Georgian government.

The Anaklia Consortium statement also called for an investigation into Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze, alleging money laundering charges aimed at warning investors and financiers to refrain from supporting the project.

According to the Anaklia Consortium, as a result of the government's attack on ADC , its investors and the project, the government may violate one of the terms of the US government's assistance to Georgia, under which 15% of aid will be suspended until the US government The Secretary does not confirm that the Government of Georgia, in accordance with the law, “protects the interests of foreign business and that they can conduct business in Georgia without any coercion and can also fully benefit from all commercial and financial benefits as a result of investments in Georgia. The consequences of these circumstances are the sole responsibility of the current government and the Georgian Dream. "

Elene Khoshtaria, a member of European Georgia, praised the letter sent by the congressmen to the State Department and said that Russia's oligarch, political persecution and similar words towards Georgia have already become a common feature in the international community.

According to Khoshtaria, the population should change the government through elections.

"It is unfortunate that Georgia has recently exposed itself to the Russian oligarch, lawlessness, political persecution, damage to democracy, etc. These are words that have already become commonplace in international consumption. This is said sometimes by senators, sometimes by MEPs, sometimes by congressmen, this is a given reality and it harms the country. "If we do not want to live in a country called the Russian oligarchy, then there are elections where we can elect a more balanced government and renounce oligarchy, political persecution, etc.," Khoshtaria said.

Salome Samadashvili, a member of the United National Movement, responds to a letter sent by the US Congressmen to the State Department, saying that it is in the strategic interest of the West to visit Bidzina Ivanishvili's government through fair elections.

According to Samadashvili, Bidzina Ivanishvili's government is strengthening the interests of Russia and China in the region.

"We saw that once again, several members of Congress addressed the State Department together. It is a direct act against the strategic interests of the United States by the government manipulated by the Russian oligarch. This is a message from the strategic allies of our country that we need to change the political system in the country, we need the overthrow of Bidzina Ivanishvili's oligarchic regime through elections in October. We have heard in Washington that Bidzina Ivanishvili's government is undermining US strategic interests in the region - including preventing US investors from pursuing significant geostrategic projects and strengthening Russian and Chinese influence in the region. "It is also in the strategic interests of the West to visit Bidzina Ivanishvili's government through fair elections," Samadashvili said.
