According to Otar Zurabishvili, the brother of the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, the dispersal and arrest of civilians at the protest rally is an indicator of the government's weakness.

As he noted, "Georgian Dream" uses Russian methods.

"This is an indicator of weakness. Fraud is followed by annoying people. Taking to the streets is a legal right. When there is no other way, it is necessary for people to be on the streets. They use excessive force against citizens, which is a violation of all laws. To be caught off guard is to sow fear. Everyone remembers the previous period, how it was during the Soviet Union, and now they promise us even worse. We are going straight to Russia and Russian methods are used. We have to endure this, overcome it and win, there is no other way out", said Otar Zurabishvili, who is present on Melikishvili Avenue with the participants of the rally.
