Salome Zurabishvili: The verdict against Elene Khoshtaria is yet another shocking attack on democracy and fundamental rights in Georgia
Shalva Papuashvili: Salome Zurabishvili slandered the Church on a day of mourning, and now she raises questions about who was where and who was not - regarding the opposition, these people turned their backs on the country and the Church, and complaining about who was present or absent is hypocrisy
Salome Zurabishvili: I truly hope that in these very difficult times Ilia II will help us preserve the unity that was achieved today - something many do not like or want - I did not have any pass, but I stood in front of Sioni Cathedral, and I am happy even with that
Salome Zurabishvili: We are all obliged to be together on Sunday - It would have been the Patriarch's wish for all presidents of Georgia to be there; that too would have been a sign of unity, beyond all these political confrontations
Giorgi Vashadze - There is a war in the neighborhood, what should a state-minded government do to confront this threat The first thing it should do is consolidate the nation - they tell us that there is a threat of war, if so, we must face it united
Giorgi Sharashidze on Salome Zurabishvili: Betrayal is when you leave the battlefield - in fact, 12 of us are doing the work of the entire opposition
Gia Volski on the unification of part of the opposition - They have formed some kind of internal theater, their goal is grave and dark - they have left Salome Zurabishvili in a position where she is walking around with a flag in her hand and saying that she is the president
Giorgi Sharashidze on Opposition Alliance - These parties were united by the idea of ​​a boycott and the so-called peaceful overthrow of October 4 - and all this only strengthened the Dream
Salome Zurabishvili - I welcome the opposition alliance - this strategy should become the basis for a united struggle of political and public forces - to ensure regime change and peaceful transformation
Salome Zurabishvili: Russia is losing on all fronts - it is losing old allies, and now Iran too
Salome Zurabishvili: Dictatorships must end!
Salome Zurabishvili on sanctioning of Imedi and POSTV – This was an expected consequence, they should find questions and answers in themselves
Salome Zurabishvili: Dear Volodymyr, four years after the start of the war, it seems the great empire has failed to bring you to your knees, and this is a very great success - I wish you that peace comes very soon!
Salome Zurabishvili - Georgia has become a passive object of international relations - more can be done outside of Georgia
Salome Zurabishvili - Everything that is happening in Georgia today is taking the country away from the European path and European reforms
Salome Zurabishvili - I can no longer create a party, that time is over for me, now my role is different, as for the debates, there is no chance to achieve something with the Prime Minister in a one-hour debate, this is figure skating
Salome Zurabishvili on question: is she waiting for her arrest - I am not the main object of the new changes, this does not apply only to Salome Zurabishvili, it applies to everyone - I am not going anywhere, why should I go?
Salome Zurabishvili - They want to put an end to Ilia State University, however, the situation is much more complicated - no one should think that private universities will survive this!
