Irakli Kobakhidze: Sanctions are both frivolous and a very sad event - American institutions need de-oligarchization
Irakli Kobakhidze: the country's budget has increased by approximately 10 billion, which allows us to take even more care of the country's development
Irakli Kobakhidze: Before 2012, there were about 10,000 cases when businessmen transferred their property to the state, after 2012, such a fact is zero, which means that the pressure and terror on business has ended
Irakli Kobakhidze: We are ready to play our role in ensuring peace and stability in the region
Irakli Kobakhidze: Together with the Chairman of the Parliament, we made a decision to nominate Merab Dvalishvili for the highest state award
Irakli Kobakhidze: In July we had 13% economic growth, the main thing is to maintain a high rate of economic growth, which is the best way to overcome unemployment and poverty
Irakli Kobakhidze: we call on the opposition to refrain from hate campaigns, all this will not increase their electoral chances
Irakli Kobakhidze: This is a very principled election, a decisive referendum, where the population makes a simple choice - either war or peace
Giorgi Vashadze to the Prime Minister: I am waiting for the answer to the public debate, if you are right, you should not be afraid, if you are lying, apologize to the public for blocking 14 billion financing
Irakli Kobakhidze: The criteria for financing non-governmental organizations will be experience and integrity - even those organizations that do not receive funding from abroad and do not have the obligation to register in the register can apply
Prime Minister: there are many parties registered and everyone can place advertisements, campaign - if the OSCE/ODIHR writes a different conclusion in such conditions, it will not be worth it, the main evaluator of the elections is the people
Irakli Kobakhidze on the opposition: they are actually campaigning outside the country, which will further contribute to their failure - when you have elections, you should talk to your own people, not foreign patrons
Irakli Kobakhidze: 14 billion dollars does not exist anywhere, no one has received such help, this is another lie spread by the opposition
Irakli Kobakhidze: 14 billion dollars does not exist anywhere, no one has received such help, this is another lie spread by the opposition
Jeanne Shaheen: The fact that the "Georgian Dream" government is ready to throw away more than 30 years of partnership with the USA in order to continue serving Russia is really very difficult to understand
Representative of the President's Administration: We invited everyone, including the Prime Minister, to the award ceremony of Olympians and Paralympians, we did not receive either confirmation or denial
Prime Minister: Similar to the Olympic Games, the same amount of awards will be given to Paralympians, all those para-athletes who have not won a medal will also be awarded 50,000 GEL
Prime Minister: NGOs that falsified the results of the parallel vote count in 2020 are directly campaigning against the ruling party and in favor of the opposition parties - they have a tarnished reputation
Robin Wagener - With the law on "transparency of foreign influence", there will be no EU membership - No chance for that
Estonian Ambassador to Georgia - If we want EU membership, we should all play by the rules - The Georgian Government on the one hand says that they are moving closer to the EU, but their actions do not prove that
