Irakli Kobakhidze, chairman of the Georgian Dream, evaluated the resolution adopted by the European Parliament on February 15, calling on the government to transfer Mikheil Saakashvili abroad for treatment as 'absurd' and adding that it has no value.

According to Kobakhidze, it seems that the Hungarian MEPs are not, in his opinion, subject to common coordination against Georgia, because they did not support the resolution about Saakashvili. He called Hungary's position 'healthy':

"In this case, Hungary had a healthy position. Which, of course, is very welcome and we would like to thank each and every MEP.

Second, it seems that the Hungarian MEPs are not subject to the common coordination that is against our country, against the key interests of our state," said Irakli Kobakhidze.

Irakli Kobakhidze evaluated the resolution as an attack on the national interests of Georgia by MEPs.

"Absurd records cannot have any value, and I will say once again that such a degree of absurdity would make the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union envious. It is simply incredible how absurd the resolutions are that the European Parliament adopts, this is the third time, and this third time is even more absurd than its previous two options.

Therefore, the absurd resolution cannot have any value for us. Especially since neither the first nor the second resolution was shared with either the European Commission or the European Council," said Kobakhidze.
