“Unfortunately, the worst thing in this case, in all this filth, is injurious to the interests of the country. We are ruining relations with our partner state,” Iveri Melashvili, an indictee in Davit Gareji Monastery Complex case, said live on TV Pirveli on Thursday.
Iveri Melashvili believes the developments around Davit Gareji are deliberate.
“If you do not want to it deliberately, you can work quietly. If you want to conduct an investigation, there is no need to agitate,” Melashvili said.
Iveri Melashvili said yesterday that it is wrong to start the negotiation process by directly claiming that something is yours. According to him, wrong and spoiling the case.
