Ketevan Tsikhelashvili thanks every person, state, friend or organization involved in the release of Vazha Gaprindashvili

I saw Mr Vazha and he feels good, - State Minister for Reconciliation and Equality Ketevan Tsikhelashvili told reporters.

According to her, all relevant structures of Georgia worked in a coordinated manner to release Vazha Gaprindashvili.

“First of all, I think it is very good news for everyone that Mr. Vazha Gaprindashvili is free and will meet his family very soon.

These processes involved the government as a whole, as well as society. More details will be provided later. I want to thank every person, state, friend or organization that was involved in this process,” Tsikhelashvili said.

When asked by a journalist about the grounds for the release, Ketevan Tsikhelashvili replied by saying:

"I think it is wrong to ask about the grounds for the release? The question is why he was arrested? As for the Ossetian and Russian media, this is another issue, which is of seconday importance now. It is important that Vazha Gaprindashvili is free and this was our main task,” Tsikhelashvili said.
