Georgian Media, civil.ge, reports that opposition coalition, Georgian Dream, led by Bidzina Ivanishvili, accused authorities of acting in an “impatient manner” while tackling situation involving suspected militants in the Lopota gorge, close to the Russian border.
“It is absolutely obvious that the Interior Ministry was concealing information about identities of people liquidated in an operation close to the Lapankuri village(in the Lopota gorge) from its population for several days and was dishonestly lying that there were no Georgian citizens among them,” the Georgian Dream said and added:
“Horrifying details are being reported about moral pressure exerted on relatives of those, killed in the operation”.
As reported , in the end Georgian dream stated:“Such attitude naturally causes the society’s justified irritation and intensifies doubts towards the authorities, whose credibility is already lost. It seems that President Saakashvili benefits from constantly keeping the society in the state of anticipation of peril and by doing so, aims at suppressing citizens’ free will,”
