We are glad that, for whatever reason, the Helsinki Commission [HC] meeting has been postponed. Such a statement made today Chairman of the Parliament`s European Integration Committee.

"I cannot say what the true reason for postponing the HC meeting is, but the Georgian state has neither lost nor gained anything from it. On the contrary, it was better that it was postponed, whatever the reason.

Such hearings do not facilitate the resetting of bilateral relations. We have heard earlier speeches and observed what was actually discussed, spreading lies and disinformation, blaming, and attaching countless labels to the country. Naturally, this does not aid in improving relations. We are glad, for whatever reason, that the hearing was postponed. I sincerely hope they will not take place at all", - said Levan Makhashvili.

The HC announced that the briefing on Georgia scheduled for today January 28, was postponed due to bad weather.
