Protest rally underway at Tbilisi State University
Teona Akubardia: We will all be targets, but that does not mean we will stop resisting - Salome Zurabishvili was named as the first target by Shalva Papuashvili himself
Salome Zurabishvili: Without a university that remains a hub of free and critical thinking, the state cannot exist independently
Shalva Papuashvili: Salome Zurabishvili is a self-proclaimed ex-president; abroad, she probably carries the standard folded - this situation deserves a Hollywood or at least Bollywood movie
Salome Zurabishvili: Education is the backbone of society, and a society without education is a society of slaves - It is significant that the regime is targeting education - until now, it affected society physically, but now it is launching a direct attack
Salome Zurabishvili –The OSCE decision to trigger the “Moscow Mechanism” for Georgia is an important milestone, the world is watching us, the Georgian people continue to protest - accountability will come!
Salome Zurabishvili: The new repressive law bans party membership for those who have worked in organizations funded from abroad - this is a ruthless step to suppress free political life
Salome Zurabishvili - Talking about dialogue in the current context is a mockery of society - this is another attempt to create different opinions in the opposition, debates are not relevant today
March - “Defend Education” underway from Philharmonic Hall to Parliament
Salome Zurabishvili: Three citizens arrested for standing on the sidewalk - state repression in action
Gia Volski on MPs who own businesses: They were wealthy before entering Parliament, pay huge sums into the budget – god bless everyone, no one uses a parliamentary mandate for business

Salome Zurabishvili - In Paris, at a meeting with the EBU President, we discussed the grave situation at Georgia’s Public Broadcaster
Gia Volski: Those who have not repented deserve no pardon; on the other hand, some may reflect because of the pardon - the president must analyze many aspects
Salome Zurabishvili: It is important that Georgia and Georgia’s crisis remain in the focus of the world’s attention
Salome Zurabishvili: Georgia’s struggle is a warning - if democratic backsliding near Europe’s borders can happen for Russia without a cost, it could be repeated inside Europe; it’s important to show that there is action
Salome Zurabishvili to Gitanas Nausėda and all Lithuanian friends: Georgia remembers our parallel path and struggle for freedom and independence

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
