Opposition to ruling party’s refusal to attend session on Ukraine: It’s a day of shame

The parlaimetaty opposition has strongly criticized the ruling Georgian Dream party for its refusal to attend an extraordinary session in the state legislature called by them today over Ukraine which was also approved by the president. 

The United National Movement party MPs said that ‘it is a day of shame’ in the history of Georgia. 

The ruling Georgian Dream party says that the reason behind the refusal was the ‘opposition’s attempt to use the Ukraine’s issue for its  political interests.’ 

However, the opposition says that the reason was ‘cowardice.’ 

PM Irakli Jaribashvili also refused to attend the session, accusing the opposition of staging provocations.
