Metropolitan Shio, Archpriest Andria Jagmaidze and the Patriarch's Secretary, Archpriest Mikael Botkoveli deceived the Patriarch, made him sign the decision of an unformed commission and suspended Archimandrite Ilia Toloraia from the priesthood. If I appeal their actions, I will have to appeal to Archpriest Andria and Mikael, and how do you think, will they punish themselves? Who should I complain to, where can I find justice? - Archimandrite Dorothe Kurashvili has posted the relevant statement on social network.

According to him, Metropolitan Shio, Archpriest Andria Jagmaidze and the Patriarch's Secretary have usurped the Patriarchate and abolished the Synod.

"They have taken away the Patriarchate, abolished the Synod, they are both the Patriarch and the Synod themselves, and they are trying to take away Christ as well and to silence us, who preach the justice of Christ. People have long been removed from the governance of the Church - the administration, there is no Synod. We have only one way left, to address our Christ; Lord, we hunger and thirst for Your justice, come, Lord, and expel Your enemies from Your Church and Your nation. Restore Your justice in Your nation and Church!", - the Archimandrite declared.
