Peter Fischer on German Foreign Ministry's website mentioning Salome Zurabishvili as president - You will see a reasonable solution in a reasonable time
Shalva Papuashvili - We see an aggressive campaign, they want to put up posters in the European Parliament and say that the attackers on the presidential palace are heroes - the violence of October 4 is entirely the political responsibility of Brussels
Salome Zurabishvili says she will appeal to EU and US embassies for assistance to children suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Salome Zurabishvili – A new wave has begun, Dream is declaring its propagandists to be spies and sending them to prison
Salome Zurabishvili - As usual, our polite partners follow the rules of protocol - the content of the meeting with Zelensky is more interesting - does Georgia also have to reconsider its position towards Ukraine? I wish!
Salome Zurabishvili – Georgia’s democracy is under siege - this is a systematic betrayal of our European path
Salome Zurabishvili - May 1st will go down in our history as a shameful date - we have returned to the Shah-Abbas or Soviet times, when homestead plots were allowed only for personal consumption
Irakli Kobakhidze - Germany can write any name and surname on its websites, but we wonder when the German bureaucracy will manage to get out of the comical situation it has created!
Mikheil Saakashvili - They say that Saakashvili was crawling on the ground, yet when Trump was crawling, it was considered nothing, and maybe Salome Zurabishvili should say that her past positions were wrong - I'm not asking for an apology, this is a matter of conscience
Salome Zurabishvili - 14 years! This 'Dream' no longer belongs to the 'Dreamers' and has become a nightmare of opportunists, power-grabbers, and slaves! – This is partly our fault, together we can fix it
Salome Zurabishvili arrives at Tbilisi Court of Appeals where a judgment may be announced in relation to actor Andro Chichinadze, comedian Onise Tskhadadze and 9 others
Shalva Papuashvili – Hans Genscher is probably rolling in his grave, considering what Germany's policy towards Georgia has become
Salome Zurabishvili – Dictatorship in Georgia even surpassing the Russian model. Ivanishvili closes the international airspace above one of its residences - time of this regime is drawing to its end
Levan Makhashvili: We had a very interesting and constructive discussion with the Weimar Triangle delegation - we discussed all the issues that concern both the Georgian side and the European Union
Kakha Kaladze: Now they’ve realized that elections matter, haven’t they?! - The people know very well who is who, whom Salome Zurabishvili serves, and whose influence she is under
Archil Gorduladze: The opposition will see neither a “Nepal autumn,” nor a “Hungarian spring,” nor any other country’s summer or winter - they are politically nullified, they do not listen to the people and instead listen to their patrons
Irakli Kupradze: In order to send Ivanishvili’s government home, “Lelo” is ready not to leave any battlefield untouched and will participate in all elections
Vika Philphani: Salome Zurabishvili discredited elections and all the parties that participated in local elections - it is good that she now realizes her mistake, but she cannot avoid responsibility
