If tomorrow Bidzina Ivanishvili wakes up and says that Irakli Gharibashvili was not guilty and that everything was invented by Irakli Kobakhidze, he may even swap their places - under the conditions of “Georgian Dream” everything is possible, - this assessment was made by Teimuraz Papaskiri, a member of “Coalition for Change,” on the PalitraNews program “Day’s Newsroom.”
According to Papaskiri, it is clear that Kobakhidze will have to leave, but “it is a waste of breath to talk about when this will happen and who will replace Kobakhidze, because everything depends on the mood of one person.”
“When Irakli Gharibashvili was put in prison, the assumption arose that the struggle within ‘Georgian Dream’ was over and that Irakli Kobakhidze had won this struggle. Now we see that there may be some variants of revenge, but this depends entirely from beginning to end on the desire of one person; it will happen as Bidzina Ivanishvili decides. If tomorrow Bidzina Ivanishvili wakes up and says that Irakli Gharibashvili was not guilty and that everything was invented by Irakli Kobakhidze, he may even swap their places - under the conditions of ‘Georgian Dream’ everything is possible.
Until the government changes, a fair investigation will not be conducted. Under the conditions of a fair investigation, I suspect that both will end up in prison; until then this situation will continue. Today we do not have a rule-of-law state and you cannot say about any verdict that the verdict was delivered justly.
It is clear that Irakli Kobakhidze will have to leave. Here the conversation is about when this will happen. It is a waste of breath to talk about when this will happen and who will replace Kobakhidze, because everything depends on the mood of one person and it is possible that his mood may change several times a day,” - Teimuraz Papaskiri stated.
Another topic of discussion on the program was the confrontation that has arisen between “Coalition for Change” and the “United National Movement.” According to Papaskiri, their party started nothing and “are only in a rare response mode.”
“Nika Gvaramia said that the only issue on which he would answer Mikheil Saakashvili is the issue of Abkhazia - no one will ever be able to accuse me of surrendering Abkhazia. Only this was the reason for the single response that Nika Gvaramia gave to Mikheil Saakashvili.
For a very long time we paid no attention, because we did not think that anyone would believe such nonsense as the financing of the party by one specific person with 40 million lari. The information was public - it was known what amount of donations came in and what money was spent. ‘Georgian Dream’ was checking this not only during the previous election campaign, but also in the subsequent period. Therefore the party did not consider it necessary to respond to this. Nika Gvaramia’s position was that they would talk and understand that this was nonsense, but the circulation of this notorious 40 million did not end. Now it has become clear where Iago Khvichia brought the figure of 40 million from. The absolutely dishonorable Iago Khvichia, who is in Georgian politics, on someone else’s orders - and we already know on whose orders - spread an absolute lie. People in the opposition spectrum followed this. We clearly have a problem with logical thinking, we have a problem with conscience, and let them set their sights correctly as well!” - Papaskiri stated.
