“What the Finnish minister and OSCE chairperson is doing right there is a violation of Georgian legislation. It also violates Article 41 of the Vienna Convention, which, ironically, was adopted in the same city where the OSCE is headquartered,” the Georgian Parliamentary Speaker, Shalva Papuashvili said in an X post, APA’s local bureau reports.
The Speaker noted that "what she thus shows to Georgian people is that she supports the violent coup organizers and that the rules-based international order is an empty phrase."
"Georgian legislation, like that of any OSCE member country, offers the guarantees of the right to assemble everywhere, and the blocking of the road is only acceptable when the large number of people cannot be contained on the sidewalk. Finnish minister may not be aware of this but she would not be able to name a single case when this right was violated by the Georgian state in the last 13 years," Papuashvili added.
