As always, Saakashvili is raving, but this is aimed at a specific goal, - this is how the First Vice-Speaker of the Parliament, Gia Volski, responded to the statement of the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, that the honorary chairman of the Georgian Dream, "Bidzina Ivanishvili's goal is to destroy the Georgian Church".
According to him, "today we need to once again understand what happened, what is the situation in the world and in Georgia in general, what the society wants, and then an answer will be given to Saakashvili, Zurabishvili and anyone else who has questions regarding these issues."
“As always, Saakashvili is raving, but this is aimed at a specific goal. today we need to once again understand what happened, what is the situation in the world and in Georgia in general, what the society wants, and then an answer will be given to Saakashvili, Zurabishvili and anyone else who has questions regarding these issues,” Volski explained.
When asked what information he has about why a number of opposition politicians were not allowed to enter the Trinity Patriarchal Cathedral on the day of the Patriarch’s funeral, Volski replied that they will have answers regarding that as well.
“We will have answers to this as well, but I think today is a day for thinking. Among them, we expect thinkingfrom the people who ask questions. We should think not only about the answer, the future and the tomorrow of our country, but also about what question you are asking, what is embedded in this question, what you want to achieve, what political goals and objectives you have. Therefore, let's understand everything and from tomorrow we will start talking about these topics, which are clearly political,” Volsky said.
He also spoke about last week, when the community went to the Trinity Patriarchal Cathedral every day to pay homage to the Patriarch of Georgia, Ilia the Second.
According to him, this was a manifestation of the attitude of Georgian society towards its own church and history.
“These days have shown that this respect, love, human attitude, great sympathy for the Patriarch was expressed by more than a million people. Not only Christians, there were many representatives of other confessions, many people came and shared their grief. Also, this was a manifestation of the attitude of Georgian society towards its own church and history. This was a manifestation of the great intellect that our people have as a historical heritage. Also, the attitude towards the issues that the Patriarch spoke about, what he taught us: tolerance, love of the country, patriotism, attitude towards the sanctities of the family and many other things that Georgia has achieved to this day. His society has preserved this high knowledge, intelligence and devotion. The silence of this incomparable number of people expressed a certain humility. This feeling, sadness and grief brought us together. We all shared these days together," said Volski.
