Salome Zurabishvili - Suddenly, they discovered that during this "unprecedented economic boom" of recent years, could not notice unprecedented increase in prices, and Kobakhidze appeared to us with threats to large and small businesses!
Salome Zurabishvili - Russian rule in Georgia: Former head of the State Security Service, Ivanishvili's right hand arrested
Salome Zurabishvili - The Georgian Dream is trying to accuse the European Union of restricting us - the new mechanism is not directed against society or citizens, on the contrary - it concerns officials
Zurab Japaridze - My goal is to create a united grand front, but this should not be a front where we only stand together for you to see us - it is important to agree on a specific strategy, this is what is missing from the common struggle
Zurab Japaridze: Protest is a demonstration that citizens do not accept dictatorship - eople must feel that there is an alternative force: an agreement on a common struggle strategy, even a joint list and a shared vision, which is the “Georgian Charter”
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
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
