"Mamuka Areshidze is not a person who can do something under someone's pressure, "- Mikhail Machavariani, Vice Spokesperson said to GHN.
He said the government was not involved in no case with the initiative of Mamuka Areshidze. They said as if this was a probe of government into the public opinion. This is not truth, this was an opinion of Areshidze only, we disagree with . No signs for such actions are evident and we are continuing the policy of non recognition of the Abkhazian Illegitimate Republic, "- Machavariani said.
At the same time the process of return of the lost territories is very long and takes much tensions. Nevertheless Georgia with support of its partners continues the process of non recognition.
"The recognition of independence of Abkhazia denoted the legalizing of ethnic cleansing, I respect Mamuka Areshidze, but cannot agree with his point of view," - Machavariani said.
