Giorgi Volski: We hope that the new U.S. administration will also pay attention to the Georgian issue, since it is from them that we know tens of millions of dollars were spent on a process of destabilization in Georgia

“The public should know that pranksters — people who make phone calls with the purpose of spreading disinformation — called the former head of USAID and received an admission from him that the billions, which the new U.S. administration speaks about, were spent in order to manage processes. These processes were political in nature, aimed at specific tasks, and these tasks implied rather serious consequences,” said the First Deputy Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Giorgi Volski.
