Georgian Opposition Leader Says Russia Helping Iran Make Nuclear Weapons

MosNews | March 23 2005

The leader of Georgia’s right-wing opposition, David Gamkrelidze, has said that Russia is helping Iran produce a nuclear bomb, Russia’s Rosbalt news agency reported on Wednesday.

Gamkrelidze was criticizing Kakha Bendukidze, Georgia’s minister of economic reforms who is also the head of the Russia’s Atomstroiexport corporation — the company building the Iranian nuclear plant at Bushehr.

The opposition politician said Russian secret services had sent Bendukidze to Georgia. Gamkrelidze also added that Bendukidze held a stake in Atomstroiexport — “the company that is helping Iran build a nuclear power plant, but in reality is helping Iran to make a nuclear bomb”.

Gamkrelidze went on to say that Bendukidze’s business was created with the help of Russian security services, as he claimed it was impossible to do business in Russia in any other way.

Russian business tycoon Kakha Bendukidze was appointed Georgia’s minister of economic reforms in mid-2004 after President Mikhail Saakashvili granted him Georgian citizenship by special decree. The main thrust of Bendukidze’s economic policy is large-scale privatization, something that has earned him many enemies among the nation’s political elite.
