Salome Zurabishvili: A weak Patriarchate punishes and fights those who are strong and right - every day they invent something, sometimes from the Patriarchate, sometimes from the regime; they act simultaneously and in the same direction
Salome Zurabishvili: I am going to Rustaveli Avenue to support Archimandrite Dorote - the Patriarchate’s decision shames the Georgian Church
Salome Zurabishvili – When even Belarus appears more democratic than Georgia!!!
Protest rally underway near Parliament
Salome Zurabishvili - A lot of people have come out, these laws mean nothing, you can't stop people with that - as for the plan, no one has ever had a plan that defeated authoritarianism and Russia, the plan is here: these people!
Salome Zurabishvili - Kobakhidze not only stands next to Putin, but also does not leave the hall when he makes a speech - this is the red line, beyond which Georgia becomes a slave to Russia, we must take to Rustaveli today!
Salome Zurabishvili - Today, everyone on Rustaveli! No to Kobakhidze and Putin standing together!
Salome Zurabishvili – Georgia's pro-Russian ruler blasts EU and US partners and befriends autocrats
Salome Zurabishvili: A campaign has been launched by the Georgian Dream prime minister, and then the smaller ones continue it - this concerns October 4, where apparently I am an organizer or among the organizers
Salome Zurabishvili - This was a shameful year for those who rule the country and are trying to make this country resemble a typical, Russian, totalitarian regime with all its characteristics
Salome Zurabishvili – A new law JUST introduced restricts even more the right to demonstrate - the main target is the 1 yearlong protest on RUSTAVELI
Salome Zurabishvili: All the reactions we have heard from the regime’s leaders and the SSS investigation are incoherent - foreign organizations must join the investigation so we can know exactly what chemical substance was used
Salome Zurabishvili - The regime's policy affects everyone, oppresses everyone and blocks everyone's opportunities
Salome Zurabishvili - The ruling party is creating new political ramifications openly supporting neutrality, which is Russia’s aim
Salome Zurabishvili – I distance myself from any form of violence, attack, or attempt at provocation against state institutions – the actions we have been witnessing all day clearly show how much our peaceful protest troubles the regime
Salome Zurabishvili: Society demands that the Platform of Resistance expands and not remain a monopoly of political parties that have not proven they alone can manage the situation — we are working on this and new groups may be formed
Salome Zurabishvili: We cannot assume that the judiciary no longer exists; there can always appear a judge who does not lose their humanity – and protests will continue as long as there are lawyers helping people selflessly
Salome Zurabishvili - One year has given us the main thing, that we believe in ourselves, that we can do everything, despite hysterical repressions, people are standing here - no one has come up with a plan how to defeat the dictatorship and Russia at the same time, but this defeat will come
Ambassador of Korea Hyon Du KIM - Korea’s strength lies in high-tech manufacturing while Georgia’s strength is in logistics and service areas - Georgia should not be just considered as a single market but as a market that can encompass the region and beyond
Oleksii Reznikov - Russia, in reality, is a paper tiger
