Varlam Goletiani: The meeting with the EU Energy Union is important and it should necessarily be open to the media

According to Varlam Goletiani, a representative of the Rioni Gorge Defenders, the meeting with the EU Energy Union is important and it should necessarily be open to the media.

According to Goletiani, the EU Energy Union asked the government to meet the conditions demanded by the Rioni Gorge Defenders.

"A delegation of the European Union Energy Union is arriving in the capital to be involved in the mediation process. This union was invited by the government, they appealed for mediation, however, it turned out that the EU Energy Union delegation demanded the fulfillment of exactly the conditions that we were demanding for dialogue and the government refused. These conditions were to remove the barricades, withdraw the police from the gorge and stop the construction, after which a calendar would be drawn up and we would talk about all the important issues. As you know, the government refused to satisfy these demands and we had stage large-scale rallies”, said Goletiani.

According to him, an important process is now ongoing.

“Next Saturday a few of us will arrive in Tbilisi, we will take part in this meeting. Of course, this process should be open to the media, so that no reasons for speculation remain after the meeting," Goletiani said.
