Irakli Kobakhidze alleges Georgian Dream team is united
Our team is not in danger of being collapsed. We may make some decisions with regard to certain MPs if they act in their subjective interests, - Chairman of Parliament Irakli Kobakhidze said.
According to him, the team is united.
"I will repeat once again that everybody will remain members of the united team if they put aside their subjective interests. The team's unity is not in danger. We may make some decisions with regard to certain MPs, if they act in their subjective interests, but our team is not in danger of being collapsed," Kobakhidze said.
When asked of whether we should expect a new party or faction led by Eka Beselia, Kobakhidze said he could not say anything about it.
