"I believe her advisors, those who still retain sound judgment, will provide her with proper advice not to act against the Georgian people," said Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili in response to journalists’ questions about whether President Salome Zurabishvili would leave the Orbeliani Palace following Mikheil Kavelashvili’s inauguration.

According to Papuashvili, the building is not Zurabishvili’s inheritance, "no matter how often she talks about her ancestors."

"I don’t think that will happen. I believe that, ultimately, her advisors, those who still have a degree of rationality, will give her the right advice not to act against the Georgian people. This building is not her inheritance, no matter how often she speaks of her ancestors. This building belongs to the Georgian people and the President of the Georgian people. Therefore, my expectation is that her advisors, who guide her actions, will recognize that they cannot act against the Georgian people in any circumstance," Papuashvili stated.

Regarding statements from opposition party representatives suggesting that Salome Zurabishvili would remain the president, Papuashvili remarked that this reveals "the opposition's duplicity."

"This shows the opposition's duplicity. As far as I know, their perpetual president is Mikheil Saakashvili, and now, if they also embrace Ms. Salome in the same heart, that’s their problem. It seems they will have two presidents, their chosen ones. I don’t know—may God grant them contentment," Papuashvili commented.
