Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a briefing, that Moscow would request an official Washington statement on the activities of the Richard Lugar laboratory near Tbilisi.
The Russian Ministry of Defense will analyze the documents relating to the US Military Biological Program, provided by Igor Giorgadze.
On September 15, 2018, Igor Giorgadze stated in an interview with RT that he asked the US authorities to investigate the legality of the work being done in the US laboratory near Tbilisi. He published several earlier articles, that could indicate the United States was conducting experiments on humans and testing bacteriological weapons at the Lugar Center, which opened in 2011.
