Tbilisi, December 2 (Xinhua) — A BBC report about the use of a toxic substance to disperse demonstrations in Georgia contains completely false information, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told reporters on Tuesday.
On December 1, a BBC investigative report was published claiming that Kamit, a World War I-era nerve agent, could have been used in Georgia to disperse demonstrations in 2024.
According to I. Kobakhidze, it is unacceptable for an international media outlet like the BBC to be guided by the standards applied by "fake TV channels" in Georgia. "We see that standards have become completely equal—in a negative sense. A TV channel allows itself to spread simple lies, and in this case, it's the BBC doing it. This is sad and regrettable," the head of the Georgian government emphasized.
"Certain substances may indeed be mixed with the water jet, but the key question is what substance was used. The BBC lied about this. The substance 'kamit' was not used at all," stated I. Kobakhidze.
The Georgian State Security Service has launched an investigation aimed at establishing in detail what information the interviewees used by the BBC as sources relied on, what data they provided, and how relevant this information might be.
