"Whoever hinted to Salome Zurabishvili that Nika Gvaramia was to be pardoned, they want to incite polarization in Georgia," the chairman of Georgian Dream Irakli Kobakhidze said.

"This is a very bad sign for us. Why these forces want to incite polarization in Georgia, the public should discuss this, although this is a very sad sign in itself," said Kobakhidze.

When asked how he would evaluate the possible return of Nika Gvaramia to politics, Kobakhidze answered as follows:

"Gvaramia does not have a lot of resources, it will simply contribute to polarization, that's all."
