Parliament Vice Speaker says OSCE Sec Gen’s visit drives domestic opposition into hysterics

Gia Volski, an MP from the ruling Georgian Dream party and the First Vice Speaker of the Parliament, on Tuesday said the visit of Feridun Sinirlioğlu, the Secretary General of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, to Georgia had driven the domestic opposition into hysterics.

Volski’s comments came after the domestic opposition representatives noted that it would have been better if the visit of the OSCE Secretary General had not taken place.

“It practically drives the domestic opposition into a state of hysteria. This is bad, on the one hand, because people or groups of people who are called political subjects are unable to perceive reality. And on the other hand, it is bad because the topic of destabilisation in Georgia is once again on the agenda. Something has to put an end to this, and the visit of a person of this level to Georgia is one of the important resources to put an end to this once and for all”, the Parliament official said.

“And if anyone wants to maintain their relevance in the political arena, they must engage in the process - not in destructive or revolutionary efforts, but in genuine political dialogue”, he concluded.
