Elene Khoshtaria - The story of chemical poisoning reminds us of the evil we are dealing with - all evil regimes eventually explode on their own landmines, and so will the "Russian Dream"
Elene Khoshtaria: Regardless of violence and repression, the path of Georgia will be determined by people, not by a historical anomaly in the form of Dream - on the 28th of November, we will show that this year belongs to the struggle of people
Elene Khoshtaria: The so-called charge filed by the Prosecutor’s Office is exactly the case that I will be proud of for the rest of my life - I am proud that I had a modest contribution to the sanctioning of the "Russian Dream"
Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze granted bail of one million GEL each
Prosecutor: The individuals featured in the covert recordings include Khoshtaria and Zurab Japaridze, among others — the discussion concerns interest groups operating in Ukraine who are instructing them to spread false information, claiming that Georgia is violating sanctions
The Prosecutor's Office is requesting bail of one million lari each for Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze
Elene Khoshtaria: I will not recognize the nonsense we heard yesterday as a case – I will have no involvement with the so-called trial
Shalva Papuashvili on the new cases against opposition leaders: If they have any complaints and do not like the decisions of the judiciary, they can turn to the Strasbourg court – and even if they lose there, they will still have to apologize afterward!
Tazo Datunashvili: Bidzina Ivanishvili has resorted to a method well-known in Moscow - threatening the political spectrum with prison and decay behind bars is a logical continuation of establishing an evil dictatorship
Giorgi Baramidze on criminal prosecution of opposition leaders - Ivanishvili’s aim is to cut Georgia off from the Western world and exhaust the Georgian spirit - don’t let these traitors think the Georgian people will give up
The Tbilisi City Court is expected to deliberate today on the imposition of preventive measures against Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze
Joe Wilson: Even by Georgian Dream standards, the regime’s new politically motivated charges against opposition leaders are appalling
Rasa Juknevičienė: The GD regime is lashing out in total desperation - all those who have been charged with these fabricated charges are heroes not only of Georgia, but of all Europe
Mikheil Saakashvili: I object to the indictment only in the shark case, and not the sanctions, because I indeed called on my numerous friends in the West to sanction Georgian Dream and I repeat that I will call on them again
ALDE: Georgia is sliding into full autocracy under Georgian Dream, and the world must not stay silent
Mamuka Khazaradze: Ivanishvili and the Russian Dream are in a serious panic, if something can be cooked up in a sick head, they wrote it down in a stupid indictment - there is an attempt to create some basis for banning our party
Reuters: Georgia charges key opposition figures with seeking to topple government - a move sure to deepen concerns about democracy in the EU candidate nation
Elene Khoshtaria: Thanks very much to the Prosecutor's Office for appreciating my work, I have never been good at PR - yes, I have been working intensively on the sanctioning of the "Russian Dream", but not only for the last year, but since 2002
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
