Georgian lawmaker outraged by Russian Security Council bombs statement
Read on the website Vestnik KavkazaA statement by the head of Russia’s Security Council suggesting Georgian involvement in Monday’s bombings in the Moscow metro was slammed by Georgian member of parliament and opposition leader Guram Chakhadze.
Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev said earlier that he could not rule out Georgian involvement in the attack, saying “Georgian footprints” could be discovered.
“It is outrageous that this came from someone with a position like Patrushev – this is as good as the official Kremlin position,” he said.
However, State Minister of Georgia for Reintegration Temur Yakobashvili said on Wednesday that Georgia was ready to cooperate with Russia in the investigation into the bombings, which left at least 39 people dead.
"All support in any investigation will be provided. If something points to Georgia, let them come and tell us. We are ready to cooperate," Yakobashvili said in an interview with the Rustavi-2 TV channel.
