Eka Gigauri: During my questioning they asked whether I received payment for giving a comment to the BBC, which is an incomprehensible question - they are doing all this to cover up the alleged crime: that a chemical agent was used against the people
Nino Lomjaria: Kobakhidze admitted that the substance under that code was mixed into the water, the same code BBC spoke about; BBC’s expert said that under that code ‘Camite’ is the mildest - a horror has happened! This was a chemical spray, not water!

Irakli Kobakhidze: A powder analysis will be done; one thing is the documentation, another is the analysis. Under that code there are dozens of substances, many of which are not prohibited - the powder was purchased and was likely intended to be used at the rallies
Eka Gigauri before questioning: We are watching a theatrical performance; they summon doctors and victims for questioning, not those who may have played a role in the crime – I can say that I also felt unwell after the dispersals
Prime Minister: In 2009, Vano Merabishvili purchased a certain dissolving powder - theoretically, if anyone could bear responsibility, it would be Merabishvili

Gia Khukhashvili: If it comes to the ‘scapegoat bucket,’ the one at risk isn’t Irakli Garibashvili, but Irakli Kobakhidze! At some point, Ivanishvili has to ‘wash’ Kobakhidze one day
