"We did not come here today for a final agreement, we just came to clarify our positions," Aleko Elisashvili, the leader of the Citizens' Party, said after a meeting with Chairman of the Parliament Archil Talakvadze and Chairman of the Georgian Dream faction Mamuka Mdinaradze.

According to him, the meeting revealed that the Georgian Dream is ready to compromise on election issues and progress is being made in this regard. As for the snap elections and the issue of political prisoners, according to Elisashvili, there is no progress in this direction.

"Levan Ioseliani and I came on behalf of the Citizens' Party to find out whether the Georgian Dream was ready for negotiations and compromise. A very long time passed after the fourth round, the prospect of the fifth round was ambiguous and that’s why we came. Of course, we have discussed all 4 points. The most serious issue was the issue of political prisoners. I want to assure everyone that Levan and I have returned to this issue many times, we have been very principled, but, of course, it is also known that the Georgian Dream simply does not recognize the existence of political prisoners. This is a very difficult case. The Georgian Dream is still ready to make serious concessions regarding the election issues. They have confirmed their readiness. There is progress on election issues.

As for the early elections, the Georgian Dream still has a position that a fact-finding commission should be set up and if it finds at least 1% error, they are ready to appoint snap elections," Elisashvili said.
