Irakli Kobakhidze - If the European Parliament wants to organize a revolution in Georgia, they will receive an appropriate response!
Irakli Kobakhidze - The highest-rated TV company in Georgia was sanctioned by the world's lowest-rated prime minister, who resigned in tears yesterday - this is karma
Prime Minister - When you do not recognize the government elected by people, this means an attack on sovereignty - our task is for everyone to recognize Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, both the Russian Duma and the European Parliament
Prime Minister - The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is an absolutely uninteresting institution, no one is interested in this institution or these resolutions, just as the European Parliament has devalued itself, so has the Assembly
Irakli Kobakhidze - Our main task is to completely neutralize the collective "National Movement" by 2028 and they are helping us a lot in achieving this task, thanks to each of them for this
Giorgi Sharashidze: It will definitely not be an easy walk for Kobakhidze in Parliament - I hope he will have enough courage to name the person who called from the ‘deep state’ as well
Tina Bokuchava: The order on June 20 was given by Anzor Chubinidze, not Gakharia; I could read that in Gakharia’s expression as he ran through Parliament’s corridors looking frantic; as for Kobakhidze, his removal was Ivanishvili’s tactical maneuver, after which he returned to his pro-Russian course
Irakli Kobakhidze: We have already visited Kyrgyzstan, will soon visit Kazakhstan, and in July the presidents of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan will visit Georgia - we have very positive momentum in our relations, which will contribute to the development of our transit function
Irakli Kobakhidze: European Parliament resolutions have lost all value - this resolution contains a discriminatory demand, claiming that only "agents" should retain visa-free travel - this is unhealthy
Georgia-Tajikistan Joint Communiqué: The consistent strengthening of cooperation serves the long-term interests of both countries - The parties expressed interest in further strengthening political contacts
Irakli Kobakhidze – At the meeting with the President of Tajikistan, particular attention was devoted to our trade and economic relations, we also discussed prospects for enhancing cooperation in the fields of transport and logistics
Irakli Kobakhidze - During a visit to Tajikistan, a joint communiqué and a number of bilateral documents were signed, which will contribute to the deepening of our cooperation
Irakli Kobakhidze meets with Prime Minister of Tajikistan
Government to create National Agency for Gastronomy and Agency for Information Technologies, Environmental Protection and Agroservices
Irakli Kobakhidze starts his official visit in Tajikistan
Irakli Kobakhidze leaves for Tajikistan for official visit
Valeri Chechelashvili: The tone of the European Parliament’s report has become tougher because the Georgian authorities’ attitude has become more rigid - sanctions against Georgian Dream members are now much more realistic
Giorgi Sioridze: Every step and statement made by "Georgian Dream" comes not from the "Ackerman manual" but from the "Kremlin manual"; the country is turning into a dystopia, with an allusion to a "Ministry of Truth"!
