According to church canon law, an interested party in conflict cannot be a member of the commission. No matter what Deacon Andria claims, he is an interested and conflicted party—he directly stated that I am a violent person who wanted to storm the palace. Deacon Jagmaidze cannot prove this," Archimandrite Dorote Kurashvili told journalists.

When asked, "Does he violate church rules by making political statements?" the archimandrite replied: "I do not violate anything, God bless you—these are my rights."

In response to a journalist's question about whether he supported the October 4 protest, he said, "Of course."

"They are issuing some kind of ultimatums to me, as if the church belongs to them, as if they created these laws—and that is not the case. I have rights too; I have demands too. They have no right to refuse my demands. My first demand was that Deacon Andria Jagmaidze must prove where I used violence. Second—according to the canon law of the Georgian Church, which clearly states that an interested party in conflict cannot be a member of the commission. No matter what Deacon Andria claims, he is an interested and conflicted party because he directly stated on Imedi TV that I am a violent person who wanted to storm the palace. Therefore, he must prove that I wanted this and that I am violent. He cannot prove this because it was disinformation. My speeches from October 4 are available. I called on the people that we do not want any single building—we want the whole of Georgia, not just one building," Dorote Kurashvili stated.
