The sole purpose of my visit to the Public Broadcaster is to protest against people who are under the influence of Russian propaganda, - former Foreign Minister Mikheil Janelidze writes about this on his Facebook page.

Mikheil Janelidze explains why he agreed to a public debate with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.

“1. I do not speak on behalf of anyone. I do not represent any political party or group. I do not conduct any negotiations.

2. The sole purpose of my visit to the Public Broadcaster is to protest against people who are under the influence of Russian propaganda. We all have such people around us.

3. Irakli Kobakhidze’s presence in the studio will attract more attention from such an audience. He has not represented anything to me for a long time.

4. In power!," - Mikheil Janelidze writes on Facebook, noting that no one from Channel One has yet contacted him about participating in the public discussion.

For your information, a public discussion will be held on the Georgian Public Broadcaster today at 10 pm on the decision of the Georgian government to suspend accession negotiations with the European Union until the end of 2028.

Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili will participate in the public discussion from the government side, while former Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs - Tina Khidasheli and Mikheil Janelidze - will be represented on the other side.
