Irakli Kobakhidze: This day reminds us of our responsibility to restore Tbilisi State University’s status as the mother university
Irakli Kobakhidze - We are ready to share our practice in combating foreign influence with the Council of Europe
Irakli Kobakhidze - Debates serve the unity of society, we want to sit down with people with different opinions and try to establish the truth - from the outside, they wanted to divide society into two parts, we must oppose this
Irakli Kobakhidze - Awarding "Publica" is a continuation of what we saw in the case of Amaglobeli, when a person was awarded for insulting a police officer - this is the low standard by which the European bureaucracy operates
Irakli Kobakhidze - Today, the higher education system is, to put it mildly, in a difficult situation - our system cannot provide students with the appropriate quality of education and our task is to fundamentally correct all this
Irakli Kobakhidze - We all: the government, business, as far as possible, should take care of reducing prices, we should alleviate the social burden on the population
Irakli Kobakhidze - Holding the International Real Estate Forum in Georgia is yet another proof that Georgia is firmly establishing its place on the regional investment map
Irakli Kobakhidze - The Helsinki Commission is very actively pursuing the so-called “deep state” line
Prime Minister - Everyone should respect the constitution, the constitutional order, and if someone does not do this, there should be mechanisms that ultimately ensure this
Irakli Kobakhidze - The technical direction at the Georgian Technical University has become a stepson, this must be changed - we want to restore TSU to the state in which it was created by Javakhishvili
Prime Minister – We are not saying that we definitely want to review our constitutional task, we are just saying that everything has pros and cons, and a normal, healthy discussion can be held on this: what pros and cons European integration has
Representative of State Special Protection Service - hTe organizers of the rally were asking us to give them the keys to the palace - I was in the yard and I heard Murtaz Zodelava's voice: "Let's not back down, the palace is ours," he was with Irakli Nadiradze
Nika Cherkezishvili: They created a sham commission and are exerting administrative pressure on business - prices cannot be lowered through pressure and press conferences alone; at the same time, they are taking steps that further entrench an oligopoly
Irakli Kobakhidze: The technical track at the Technical University has turned into a kind of ghetto; if someone doesn’t want this fixed, that is wrong - politicization of universities is our opponents’ trademark
Irakli Kobakhidze: Timely initiative - constitutional order must be upheld, the state cannot develop while in permanent sabotage mode
Parliamentary Bureau approves membership of temporary commission to study food, medicine, and fuel prices
Giorgi Sharashidze: Exclusive information: Ivanishvili sent another envoy to the U.S. - Mamuka Mdinaradze
Parliamentary temporary commission set up to study price formation of food products, medicines, and fuel to consist of 14 members
Five years of Sadyr Japarov’s Presidency: The main test is still ahead
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
