Georgian media reports that European Parliament President Martin Schulz in Brussels, at a joint news conference with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili , announced that the European Parliament should examine the reasons for arrest of former ministers in Georgia.
In my country, Germany, former ministers are not arrested. I refrain from assessing arrests in Georgia, as I intend to examine the situation. My assistants have already been instructed to examine the situation and submit their reports to me, following which I will make a statement,” said Schultz adding “the situation in Georgia is very important for the EU.”
Schultz called Georgia a good partner of the EU and expressed readiness to continue cooperation.
