Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze spoke about the positive and negative news of the week before the government meeting today and mentioned the challenges which need to be overcome.

'Big Victories'

Speaking about the victories Bakhtadze mentioned the verdict of the European Court of Human Rights which demanded the payment of 10 million EUR from Russia to Georgia for the arrest and expulsion of Georgians in 2006.

I can openly say that justice has been served. I want to mention the huge merit of the Georgian Justice Ministry in the victory. Without the enormous efforts of the ministry in 2014-2015 only 118 Georgian citizens would be able to receive the compensation instead of 1,500,” Bakhtadze said.

Bakhtadze stated that the previous state leadership sent the data of only 118 individuals to the court.
