You have said in all your interviews that you made all the decisions during the [June 20] operation, including the use of bullets, now you say that you didn`t give this specific order and blame it on specific police officers – Tsulukiani to Gakharia

You have claimed in every interview that you made all the decisions regarding the operation and the use of everything, including bullets. Such a statement Tea Tsulukiani, Chairperson of the Parliament’s Interim Fact-Finding Commission, made while addressing former Minister of Internal Affairs/Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia at the Commission’s session.

"Now you are asserting that you didn`t give this specific order. I`m sorry, but given the circumstances, it seems you are blaming individual officers for taking matters into their own hands without orders and gouging out people`s eyes.

You need to clarify your position: it was either your order or it wasn`t. In interviews, you consistently state, "I gave this order, and I am responsible for everything". I, personally, find it difficult to reconcile these conflicting statements. Stop acting as if we gouged out people`s eyes", - said Tea Tsulukiani.
