Giorgi Baramidze is no different from that government, he is one of the leaders who committed this crime against our country. This process is very easy for everyone to decipher, what their actions served. Even today they do not express regret, about 500 people have died, about 120 of our villages have been lost, territories were recognized, the Kodori Gorge was ceded without a fight, chaos - due to their actions, such a tragedy was developing in our Georgia, - Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili stated.

According to him, while Antsukhelidze was being tortured, the then government was pursuing a policy of concessions to Russia.

“The forces that committed such a crime against our homeland still dare, they want to speak and justify themselves in public, of course, this is unacceptable. After the restoration of independence, there has never been such a free, independent state, but it is our obligation to build a just state and everyone, whoever they are, will be given an appropriate answer for their actions and their statements. This concerns Baramidze, he is no different from the government, he is one of the leaders who committed this crime against our country, this process is very easy for everyone to decipher, what their actions served, even today they do not express regret, up to 500 people are dead, up to 120 of our villages are lost, territories were recognized, the Kodori Gorge was ceded without a fight, chaos - due to their actions, such a tragedy was developing in our Georgia. These people, who directly committed such a significant crime, in just a few years, even in few days, they were celebrating on Rustaveli, when the bodies of the heroes of Georgia were not yet cold. I do not remember our Patriarch crying so much when he brought the bodies of our dead heroes. Georgia was mourning at that time, experiencing this tragedy.

While Antsukhelidze was being tortured and when these heroes were abandoned by the then government on the streets, they were pursuing a policy of concession, they sold strategic objects, unilaterally canceled the visa regime, they smelled Russian money, they said they were trying to restore cultural relations. When our war was on, they didn't speak out, when they invaded Ukraine, Russia became an occupier, and then they remembered Antsukhelidze?

That gentleman, sometimes Odysseus, sometimes Nelson Mandela, sometimes Ilia Chavchavadze and David the Builder, is actually one pitiful, coward person. I don't remember any Georgian person, and I don't know, I don't remember anywhere else, a leader who would act in such a way, he behaved so shamefully, this showed his instincts.

Today we are strengthened, today we are a government that will not allow such days for Georgia," Kavelashvili said.
