“Obviously neither with a lawyer, nor in any other form, we will not enter the so-called legal processes. There is no talk about it, and it cannot be”, - said the State Minister Ketevan Tsikhelashvili in response to a question on hiring a lawyer for illegally detained Vazha Gaprindashvili.

According to her, the work of the state and the whole process is aimed at Vazha Gaprindashvili being released unconditionally.

“I met my family for the second time, we had a very long conversation and I gave them a detailed overview of the channels and forms of work, what information we have at this stage.

"That is why the Prime Minister made a statement today that the politicization of this issue or the dissemination of false information is unacceptable. First and foremost in the interests of Vazha Gaprindashvili and his release. I would like to ask everyone to take this into consideration.

Because we are working on a very important issue that has a very difficult background. It is not news to anyone what regime and how we work”, - said Ketevan Tsikhelashvili.
