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
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
Doctors release information regarding Elene Khoshtaria’s diagnosis and treatment process
Elene Khoshtaria - I am delighted and I express my deepest gratitude to all those people who have protested the restriction of freedom of speech in recent days and defended the freedom of Georgia - this is what is shaking the system!
Viktor Kipiani: If elections do not resemble elections and are not fair, participating in them would amount to legitimizing fake elections, which we cannot take part in - as for the sanctions against the Kulevi refinery, they mean being cut off from business civilization
EU Delegation, as well as the embassies of Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Poland, asked the judge presiding over the so-called “sabotage case” to allow their representatives to attend the court hearings, but their request was denied
Lasha Tugushi: The situation is alarming - having so many political prisoners is a losing game for the government - from the standpoint of international relations as well, this is a very serious, even devastating, fact
Elene Khoshtaria - It doesn't matter what Ivanishvili is planning for us, what matters is what we are planning for him - every morning you should see not Papuashvili, but the opposition marching together - this is what we can and must do
Elene Khoshtaria: Our problem is not the existence of arrogant Russians - they will always be here - but our state’s attitude toward itself, its dignity, its laws and its citizens
Badri Japaridze on "Neutral Georgia": They oppose Georgia's constitutional provision, as they themselves said, and therefore do not like the fact that we support joining Euro-Atlantic structures
Badri Japaridze on the so-called sabotage case: I would call this the "trial of gestures" - it is regrettable that police officers can be brought down to such a level
Zurab Japaridze on the so-called sabotage case: Based on what we're seeing, the proceedings will likely conclude by the end of this month or by mid-August; this case will definitely be taken to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg; there is absolutely no evidence against anyone
Vato Shakarishvili on the so-called sabotage case: For years, an extensive agent network has been operating in Georgia, funded and directed from abroad; everyone must be held accountable for the crimes they have committed against our country
Zurab Japaridze - The second charge against me is cooperation with a foreign, hostile country, they don't mention it publicly, but it was said in court that it is Ukraine - I have said many times, it is out of the question, I will not leave this country, I advise some people to leave
Elene Khoshtaria - Today, the severity of the sentences indicates the cowardice of the regime, and these sentences are not a deprivation of our freedom, but an indicator of the end of the Georgian Dream - Aleko Elisashvili knows this, and so do we, who are waiting for new sentences
Badri Japaridze on the so-called sabotage case - With its absurdity, this is truly unprecedented political persecution, no other qualification can be given to this process
