**Opposition Politician Says Giorgi Bachiashvili’s Escape is a Win**
Roman Gotsiridze, an opposition politician, says it’s good that Giorgi Bachiashvili has left the country. Bachiashvili was the Director General of the Co-Investment Fund.
Gotsiridze said in a TV program called “Free Studio” that the case against Bachiashvili is fake. He believes the government used false charges to try and silence him.
**Bachiashvili has Important Information**
According to Gotsiridze, Bachiashvili knows many secrets about Bidzina Ivanishvili‘s regime. The politician thinks that by leaving the country, Bachiashvili can use his knowledge to help bring down Ivanishvili’s government.
Gotsiridze also said that if Bachiashvili had stayed in prison, he would have been either killed, robbed, or released in a poor condition.
**The Importance of Anaklia Port**
In the same TV program, Gotsiridze talked about the importance of American investments in the Anaklia port. He thinks this would be a good thing because it would add security guarantees for Georgia.
However, he also expressed concerns about China‘s involvement in the project. Gotsiridze said that if Chinese capital is involved, it could strengthen Russia’s interests.
**Visits to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan**
Gotsiridze also commented on Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze‘s working visits to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. He thinks these visits are just for show and won’t bring any real benefits to Georgia.
According to Gotsiridze, when you’re cut off from the West, it’s economically useless and politically ridiculous to try to establish relations with countries like China or Kazakhstan.
