Provocations are characteristic of the National Movement, but we are here to prevent such provocations, - Parliament Chairman Irakli Kobakhidze said when commenting on the opposition rally planned in Telavi during the inauguration ceremony.

Kobakhidze told journalists that the inauguration would be calm and the opposition would not be able to organize provocations.

"I assure you that the inauguration will be held without obstacles. There may be some provocations, but we will properly meet them, in a style introduced by us in 2012. Therefore, I do not expect any incident in Telavi," said Irakli Kobakhidze.

He also talked about the rehabilitation of the presidential palace and explained that after the inauguration, “the President will enter the Atoneli palace. We are sure that she will be able to enter the palace in time".
