The substance of a speech even more low-level than those of Gharibashvili—who has been sentto prison—can be summarized thus: "Georgia is a territory controlled by Ivanishvili; if you want anything in this territory—for instance, to lay a cable—come and talk to us." This is how Salome Samadashvili, a leader of Lelo – Strong Georgia, assesses the Prime Minister's speech at the UN.

In Samadashvili's assessment, Kobakhidze's speech was "vacuous and deeply provincial."

„To put it very briefly regarding the speech by Kobakhidze—Ivanishvili’s representative—which was utterly devoid of substance, deeply provincial, and stripped of any national ambition or political gravitas:

Against the backdrop of an escalating annexation process and deepening occupation, there was not a single word about annexation, nor any message to the international community regarding our expectations or needs; not a word about Russia, which is intensifying pressure toward annexation and continuing to violate the 2008 ceasefire agreement; not a word urging the world—amidst negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine war—not to forget the occupation of Georgian territories, the genocide, and the hundreds of thousands of displaced persons awaiting their return home. In short: emptiness, with the occupation mentioned merely as a polite formality.

The European agenda has been abandoned. Not a single word was said about the primary objective of Georgia’s foreign policy. EU membership represents this country’s principal national choice and a project for national survival—a project that Ivanishvili has discarded. This was confirmed once again by the omission of this issue from his representative's speech.

For the Georgian people, however, the most outrageous aspect was likely the talk of "economic success." Standing at the UN podium is the representative of a man under whose rule nearly a million people emigrated from the country just to survive. At the same time, this man speaks of a "successful policy" that overcame poverty; he speaks of "successful regional development" against a backdrop of depopulated villages, ruined schools, and roads that—due to corruption and incompetence—remained unfinished for years, or were built only to fall into disarray.

In short, the content of the speech—which was even more lackluster than the addresses of Gharibashvili (who ended up in prison)—can be summarized as follows: "Georgia is a territory controlled by Ivanishvili; if you want anything done in this territory—say, laying a cable—come and talk to us," writes Samadashvili.
