President: Pardoning is a sensitive issue; I will be very careful about my decision

Pardoning is a sensitive issue; I will be very careful about my decision in this regard, - President Salome Zourabichvili told reporters while commenting on the pardon of Archpriest Giorgi Mamaladze.

However, as the President noted, once working on pardon rules is over, she should study all the cases.

“The rules have not been formulated yet. We are working on this. As soon as a new order is ready, I'll let you know and then I'll think about it. I will think carefully in order to make a decision that would be clear to everyone. Society does not need another cause for anxiety and so I will think carefully about this issue,” Salome Zourabichvili said.
