Iago Khvichia: Georgian Dream and Salome Zurabishvili's quarrel is a bit boring - in fact Salome Zurabishvili is a very loyal friend of Georgian Dream by her actions

Georgian Dream and Salome Zurabishvili's quarrel is a bit boring - in fact Salome Zurabishvili is a very loyal friend of Georgian Dre­am by her actions, one of the leaders of Girchi Iago Khvichia told journalists, thus responding to the statement of the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili, according to which "the relevant agencies do not inform the President about the high-ranking visits, meetings or events planned in the country".

According to Khvichia, Salome Zurabishvili is part of the game of Georgian Dre­am and Bidzina Ivanishvili.

"I don't understand how someone can hide a visit from the President. If someone is hiding it, how can the President not have the tools to figure it out for herself. In general, I think that this quarrel between Georgian Dre­am and Salome Zurabishvili is a bit boring. If Salome Zurabishvili is really worried that her powers are being restricted, we have repeatedly advised how an oppositional president should act, but we believe that Salome Zurabishvili is part of the game of Georgian Dre­am and Bidzina Ivanishvili. Accordingly, we think that this whole concert - starting from the failure to dismiss her and the daily announcements are part of this game, so we cannot take it seriously ", said Iago Khvichia.

According to him, the hysteria that the members of Georgian Dre­am artificially sow towards the President is inexplicable.

"I am not looking at the words of the President, but at the actions and levers that she has and how she uses them. I think they are perfectly in tune with Georgian Dre­am. Sometimes, in order to confuse the public, Georgian Dre­am comes out, or the President says something. Salome Zurabishvili is a very loyal friend of Georgian Dre­am in her actions. For me, the hysteria, which is sometimes artificially sown by the members of Georgian Dre­am towards the President, is very unfounded and inexplicable. I am sure that even the lower echelons understand that this quarrel with the President is not real", said Iago Khvichia.

As for the speech of the President in the parliament on February 6, Khvichia says that he is "waiting for hysteria".

"I expect hysteria not only from the side of Georgian Dre­am towards of the President, but also hysteria from the opposition towards the Government, and from the Government towards the opposition. In general, I expect hysteria because hysteria has become an action tactic of the Georgian political spectrum when they have nothing to talk about with people," said Iago Khvichia.

In addition, Iago Khvichia spoke about the working meeting scheduled for January 29 in the Parliament.

"We don't know how serious this meeting is and how seriously any proposal can be made. We will go to observe. We think it will be an introductory meeting", said Iago Khvichia.
