Irakli Kirkitadze’s statement regarding Abkhazia

Parliamentary majority leader Irakli Kirkitadze stated during his speech at the plenary session of the autumn session that for Georgia, Abkhazia is not just a matter of territorial integrity, but it is the people, history, and a common future. According to Kirkitadze, everyone who claims to participate in political processes bears a special responsibility when speaking about the issues of Abkhazia, the Tskhinvali region, war, and territorial integrity. 1TV+3

Kirkitadze noted that every step taken by the government is aimed at de-occupation through peace and reconciliation through trust, so that the country's unification occurs not through a new conflict, but through the restoration of relations. He emphasized that the topic of Abkhazia should not be used for internal political struggle or external interests; otherwise, responsibility will be placed on those who use it for speculation. 1TV+3

The parliamentary majority leader demanded a full legal and political lustration of those political and influence networks that directly or indirectly oppose Georgia's peace policy. According to Kirkitadze's statement, under the "Georgian Dream" government, the Strasbourg court confirmed Russia's responsibility and the fact of the occupation of Georgian territories, which, according to him, is the result of state policy. 1TV+3
