Former President of Georgia
Giorgi Margvelashvili
Irakli Kobakhidze on Giorgi Baramidze's statement - It is disgusting to hear such a statement even from a representative of the National Movement - this definitely requires an appropriate reaction from society
Prime Minister - Absolutely false content is being created on social media, non-existent people are talking as if there is a negative environment for Russian tourists in Georgia - this has only one goal, sabotage against the country
Irakli Kobakhidze - Those who are engaged in sabotage against their own country, those who oppose their own national interests, should all know that they will be brought to justice
Irakli Kobakhidze - We are maintaining a high rate of economic growth and this is one of our main tasks in the future - maintaining a high rate of economic growth is also related to the elimination of corruption
Irakli Kobakhidze - Georgia is ready to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of Nauru and promote the deepening of cooperation
Levan Machavariani - We remember that after the August war, representatives of leading European countries attended the military parade in Moscow, although “blackening” Russia was not on the agenda then - the agenda changed and after that Russia became an “occupier”
Nika Gvaramia - Irakli Kobakhidze's letter is both a manifesto of stupidity and betrayal of the country's interests, of course, not the first, but exceptionally bad and strangely inappropriate
Kakha Kaladze - After the devastating war, Saakashvili greeted Russian tourists at the Larsi border with roses in his hands. Were the Russians good then, and have they become bad today? - Whatever the "deep state" instructs these people, they do it
Tazo Datunashvili - A Doctor of Law of the University of Düsseldorf does not understand why his government is criticized - either that diploma is fake, or Kobakhidze has suffered intellectual degradation
Grigol Gegelia - I can't say when certain people became Russophobes, but I can tell you that Irakli Kobakhidze was then and is now a Russophile - Kobakhidze is a politician acting against Georgians on Russia's instructions
Irakli Kobakhidze - The rhetoric of foreign agents towards Russia has never been so harsh and negative either before the 2008 war or after the August war - a logical question arises: why did they become Russophobes now and not then
Levan Khabeishvili - There has never been such a weak "government" in Georgia - Mdinaradze has failed in mafia affairs, the situation with Kobakhidze is much more sad - we should not look at it, but mobilize and become active
Irakli Kobakhidze - The US Embassy, ​​under the previous administration, was one of the main ones who artificially tried to incite hatred and propagate lies in Georgia - the embassy's statement is incomprehensible to me, but it's their business
Prime Minister - It is really necessary to respond to the coordinated attack against our identity - if it is necessary to adopt a law for this, we can consider that too
Irakli Kobakhidze - Under the leadership of Vano Zardiashvili, a lot has been done in Electrosystem, I can only say positive things about him, the Ministry of Economy will make a decision on the rest and I will not interfere
Prime Minister - The goal of the foreign agents is to undermine national identity, we must confront all this, however, within the framework of the law, including by regulating the legislation, which we must actively discuss
Prime Minister - We maintain optimistic expectations that the strategic partnership will be restored, we are patiently waiting for the American side's countermeasures - we do not care what another "deep state" agent, Joe Wilson, will say
Shalva Papuashvili: The employees of the Security Service stand on that invisible front where success is often measured by the fact that the threat does not reach society - a strong state is not defined only by military capabilities - the SSS has a special mission
