Special Representative of the Prime Minister for Relations with Russia
Zurab Abashidze
Former President of Georgia
Giorgi Margvelashvili
Prime Minister of Georgia
Irakli Gharibashvili
Elene Khoshtaria: If the government were not pro-Russian but national, it would be not only a participant in Zelenskyy’s initiative, but one of the active leaders in the region; the opposition can also begin discussions with its partners in this direction
Rasa Jukneviciene: Elene Khoshtaria spent an entire year behind bars - this is not an exception, but a method - imprison everyone who openly says that Ivanishvili’s government serves Moscow
Yevheniia Kravchuk – Political repression has no place in a European democracy - Elene must be free, and those persecuted for their political views must be able to speak and act without fear
ALDE – One year has passed since the detention of Elene Khoshtaria; we demand her immediate release.
Elene Khoshtaria: The detention of Giorgi Baramidze is a Russian plan – not showing a large protest this autumn will be a sign that we are tired, and this is unacceptable – the only most correct response is a large anti-occupation rally
Elene Khoshtaria: Garibashvili’s letters are, on the one hand, an unabashed display of recklessness, and on the other hand, they indicate a very noticeable rift within "Georgian Dream"; the struggle is taking shape, and it is inevitable that it will bring the regime to an end
Elene Khoshtaria: The actions and lies of “Georgian Dream” put Georgia at risk of being openly dragged into Russia’s war on Russia’s side
Elene Khoshtaria: I think the time has come to hold a large anti-occupation rally in the autumn
Elene Khoshtaria: All that is left for “Dream” now is to tell the Russians: we will punish everyone who does not love you - but even this will not work for them; neither the Russians nor their Georgian version are doing well
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
