Pt.2

Don Bacon - “I am ready for feedback and I will be the first to say I am not an expert on this person. If we make a mistake, I will use all means to raise my voice and return to our colleagues and say that we need to correct this passage.”

J2 - Mullin's accusation of diplomat is categorically unacceptable to the ruling party. Especially from the congressman who is observed in the circulation of misinformation, for example, regarding the issue of "Frontera". Today, the deputies reminded the Texas Congressman of the financial benefits transferred to him by the Texas company "Frontera". According to open secrets , "Frontera" transferred several thousand dollars to Mullin during the election campaign.

Kakhaber Kuchava (Deputy Chair of Parliament) - We are talking about the Republican Congressman, specifically this one person who is officially receiving funding from “Frontera” and is engaged in lobbying activities, which, of course, is allowed by law, and it is his right to criticize or praise us according to the interests of his sponsors. So, it wasn’t surprising to me.

Irakli Berisa (Chair o the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Comtte) - He is well known as an active supporter of “Frontera”. And for this very reason, over the years he has made quite subjective, unfounded and not-so-positive assessments of the Georgian government. And his next tweet is nothing more than a continuation of the message supporting "Frontera". To be honest, I would have been surprised if he had made different statement. This congressman is well known for his views and with these views on the Georgian government he is in the absolute minority, and his position in no way reflects the position of official Washington.

Mamuka Midinaradze (Leader of Parliament Majority, Vice Speaker) - Congressman Bacon himself confirmed 2 days ago that the record did not belong to him and that the record had been prepared by Staffer. For some reason today we ignore Bacon’s statement and focus only on Malin’s statement. It will be a great pleasure for me and our team to join the fight against Russian interests in Georgia because there is nothing more damaging than that, and first and foremost, all of us need to remember the people who are more dangerous when they declare themselves pro-Western and do works in favor of Russia.

Translation #6, US$20.60 - Short TV piece from 19/6
Pt.1

Journalist 1 (J1) - Another attack on Georgia. Congressman Mullin denies what his own colleague Don Bacon confirms with the „Chronicle“. The case concerns a suspicious passage related to Bidzina Ivanishvili in a supporting document signed by 13 Republican congressmen. Mullin also opposes reports by Georgia's ambassador to the United States.

Journalist 2 (J2) - Congressman Markwayne Mullin protested the Georgian ambassador's comments on his Twitter page. The congressman, from Texas, directly writes that what David Bakradze said, as if half of the congressmen did not share the recording of Ivanishvili in a strategic document, is a lie.

(There is a translation of part of the Twitter statement)

(J2) - This statement of the Congressman was followed by the explanations made by Davit Bakradze to the „Chronicle“. The diplomat spoke about the communication he had with the signatory congressmen after the publication of the embassy report. After diplomatic communication, it became clear that some of them did not know and did not share the passage related to Bidzina Ivanishvili, which was related to Ivanishvili's connection with Putin.

David Bakradze (Georgian Ambassador to USA) - We had communication, with almost half of the signatory congressmen. And, without exception, everyone has confirmed that on the one hand they do not share, of course, the spirit of this proposal, and on the other hand, for most of them it turned out to be an absolute surprise to what we have pointed out.

J2 - This explanation became necessary after the statement of Congressman Don Bacon. In an interview with “Chronicle”, a Republican congressman from the state of Nebraska openly said that if a document contains an error about Bidzina Ivanishvili, he would be the first to point out to his colleagues about the correction of the blunder. In an exclusive interview with the Chronicle, Bacon said he had not read the report in full and was only working on the strategic part. Although he signed the document, he did not have expert information about Bidzina Ivanishvili and the passage about Ivanishvili's connection to Putin was included in the report by congressional technical staff and experts.

Dolphin Shelf update (its not happening)
"Due to the problems on the Black Sea shelf, possible military aggression by Russia, unfavorable economic climate and other objective problems, it is now unrealistic to hold a tender for the development of the Black Sea shelf. This was stated by the chairman of the board of "Naftogaz" Andriy Kobolev.

We are deeply convinced that any tender, even with the involvement of Naftogaz as a party to the state, as a potential partner, is unlikely to be held. We are sure that it will not be possible. We, as Naftogaz, offer to approach the project. We propose to allow us to conduct seismic, reduce the risk of this territory and at any time when the state decides that it (the territory) is ready for the competition and there is a real demand, it can be carried out. We are left as a state partner. first to hold a competition, to spend two years on it, to understand that it did not take place. And to lose two years, during which work could be carried out, which will have to be done by any winner, "Kobolev said.

According to him, Naftogaz, as a state-owned company, should become a tool that will "reduce the risks of potential partners, open the door to which, if desired, one of the foreign partners will enter. If there is no desire, we will decide that to do with it ".

It will be recalled that Deputy Minister of Energy and Environmental Protection Yuriy Boyko stated that Naftogaz could become a mandatory state partner for the development of the Black Sea shelf and this could be enshrined in the new tender.

In October last year, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine canceled the results of the tender for the development of the gas section "Dolphin" on the Black Sea shelf (an area of ??10 thousand square kilometers). The tender for the development of the "Dolphin" site (according to the conditions was transferred to the investor for 50 years) was announced on April 12, 2019. It was attended by the American company Frontera Resources, Trident Acquisitions Corp, controlled by the Azerbaijani company SOCAR Caspian Drilling International Ltd, and Ukrnaftoburinnya Igor Kolomoisky and Vitaly Khomutynnik. The winner of the competition was Trident Acquisitions Corp., one of the shareholders of which is a former member of the Russian State Duma Ilya Ponomarev.

Naftogaz and its structures did not participate in the tender, the results of which were canceled. It was known that the "Dolphin" included areas where ultrasound conducted preliminary studies of the availability of stocks and can challenge them in court, which is happening now.

Pt.3

Journalist - Really? After Saudi Arabia, there is the Georgian government, which has so much ...

ZM - Yes, Saudi Arabia and Georgia. Neither other countries, nor any other company, nor other people pay such a large sum for lobbying as Georgia and Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, you remember that because of the murder of a journalist, the relationship in the United States has deteriorated, and this is a direct sign that you have a very bad case, that you are going to do everything to somehow correct the name. But, if they do not create and have the truth, even if they hire 100 lobbyists, they will not have results. The important thing here is to have the truth delivered to the right place at the right time.

Sir, Zaza, from this fall onwards, was first Congressmen Kissinger, then was Senator Risch, who is the most influential man in the Senate. If not anyone there is a senator in Risch, he is the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and it was Risch who Ivanishvili was afraid of, when he made his first made the concession. And then Risch responded to his failure to fulfill that promise, right? This was followed by a report that actually put an end to this man. Can we say that this man, Ivanishvili, has been targeted, and he can no longer reverse this situation? What if he still has a chance to improve his reputation and turn the situation around?

Of course, there are always chances, but for this to happen, elections must be held democratically, political prisoners must be released from prison, human rights must not be violated, they must not be persecuted and American investments must not be restricted, all people must be allowed to do business freely and have their own income, 250 000 child must not starve. If the country is going to do all this, then it has to take this truth to the United States and convince the people there that they are not interested in consolidating power, they are not interested in not having a change of government. If all this happens, then it will change. But if that doesn't happen, it's still difficult to predict what will happen next and I will tell you why. By the way, as you mentioned, there was 1 very important letter between these two documents signed by the senators - Cruz and Cornyn and the Congressmen - Arlington and Mullin. It notes that Mr. Ivanishvili and Georgia are cooperating with opponents and enemies of the United States at the expense of the geopolitical and commercial interests of the United States. Now, putting it all together means that new legislation is not needed either. There is a Magnitsky Global Act ...

Journalist - "It's very important and we need to find out where it hit." Where could that phrase come from?

ZM - That’s very interesting what you said. I have the impression that sometimes those who are responsible for dealing with this issue in Georgia do not follow what is happening in real life. This phrase was first voiced in Congress in 2016 when Congressman Steve Russell addressed Congress. It was then that Ivanishvili was described as a very close ally of Putin. He then mentioned these relations and the attempt to destabilize Georgia, which is now described in this document. Since then, for 4 years, such assessments have been constantly made, and it is a bit surprising when our diplomatic corps or government ...

Yes, like it came from nowhere. Like someone recorded it.

Accidentally recorded by a lobbyist who took the money for this. And, by the way, in addition to Russell, in 2016 there was a report by the Director of Intelligence of the United States, which also mentions these connections. It is mentioned that the Georgian Dream will violate the institutions in Georgia and will consolidate its power. That was 2 years ago. Now we see what is happening right? Then there were such records even in the legislation. Already hostile attitude, non-observance of the rule of law, hostile attitude towards American companies. So this is an assembled chain that has been going on like this for several years now and now this reaction of our government members as if they heard about it for the first time and they are surprised how it happened, is really surprising for me.

Especially the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who worked at the Embassy of Georgia in the United States and, as a rule, should know all the stages well. But they are blaming all the "National Movement" inside and outside of those who say something critical of the government, and here, too, surprisingly, there was a hint that the "National Movement" managed to hit the phrase in this very important report, as Zalkaniani says, which actually ended Ivanishvili. They have their own embassy, they have several lobbying companies that is paid millions of dollars. How did these lobbying companies fail to create a good image of Georgia in the Senate? What hinders this case?

By the way, they have hired very strong lobbying companies, but what they don’t have is that they don’t have the truth. This is a problem. They don't have the truth, so they can't bring that truth to the right place, otherwise lobbying companies and professionalism in those companies are definitely very high. One very interesting fact is that only Saudi Arabia and Georgia pay the highest prices for lobbying companies in Washington.

Translation #3 - US$41.15
Pt.1

Journalist - Hello. Thank you so much for being with us. First of all, Michael Conaway, a permanent member of the Intelligence Committee who is a well-known congressman, joined the sanctions package today. Please explain the story of the sanctions. What is this package of sanctions? What procedures should be followed and for what purpose? And, how realistic it is to go through these procedures.

ZM - With great pleasure. Thank you very much. Michael Conaway is a very famous congressman. By the way, he is one of those who could have potentially become speakers for the United States Congress. This merger means that the number of supporters joining the fair business sanctioning act in Georgia is increasing day by day, which means that those former or current officials of the government who are undermining or undermined the free contracts with American companies, are affected by these sanctions. This does not apply to Georgia, but to those members of the government who ...

That is, point shots are fired

There will be point shots. This applies to those who have been members of the government in the past. By the way, it is very interesting ...

Here, for example, who can be considered in these sanctions? Who is the object of the sanctions?

Starting with the former prime ministers, ending with the current prime minister, ministers and their deputies, as it is in the bill of these sanctions..

So, are the names and surnames of these specific individuals not yet listed in this package?

The bill has not been listed yet, but the number of supporters is growing day by day, and at some point it may appear. However, before I move on to this "However", it is very important that Michael Conaway is also a member of the congressional committee that has just published a well-known study and report.

This report, in which he is portrayed as Putin's main ally and source of destabilization. Well, I don't know what a clear and crushing assessment this can be.

Of course. Also, don't forget that he is a permanent member of the Intelligence Committee, a permanent member of the Armed Forces. There are several such in that committee. While these discussions are not limited to a narrow party format, there are even bipartisan meetings in the committees. So it is really a very important document, as our Minister of Foreign Affairs noted.
