Georgia Supports Effective Sanctions Implementation for EU and NATO, Says Shalva Papuashvili
Shalva Papuashvili, the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, stated that there were instances of misinformation and speculations about the use of Georgian territories to circumvent sanctions. However, he emphasized that today there are no lingering questions on the matter.
Papuashvili stated that Georgia not only prevents but also actively detains certain items stolen from other countries at its borders. He mentioned that approximately 2,000 transactions were stopped at the border of Georgia due to the detection of goods or companies under sanctions.
"The conclusion published by the European Commission on November 8 once again dismantled the grounds for speculation. It eliminates those unfortunate instances that, unfortunately, sometimes arise in the heart of Georgia, after which disinformation is spread on various formats and platforms. The European Commission noted in its conclusion that all efforts are aimed at ensuring that the territory of Georgia is not used to circumvent sanctions.
There is also a report by the representatives of the European Union, the United States, and Great Britain sanctions, which states that there is no evidence that the territory of Georgia is used to circumvent sanctions. It is a pity that such speculations are taking place inside the country, although nobody has any lingering questions anymore.
On the contrary, everyone is grateful that Georgia not only prevents this on its own territory but also detains certain items stolen from other countries at the border of Georgia. About 2,000 such transactions were stopped at the border of Georgia because any goods or sanctioned companies were detected. Georgia is part of the chain that helps the European Union and NATO to effectively implement the sanctions," Papuashvili said.
