Elene Khoshtaria: The resolution is the voice of the Georgian people heard by the European Parliament
Elene Khoshtaria: What a 4% party like Lelo does certainly doesn’t determine Georgia’s fate. Whether they are weak or traitors – let history judge that; As for us, let’s focus on our work
Elene Khoshtaria: Georgian Dream kind of voted for the resolution amid confusion, but at the same time it failed to do so - the government's position is that it does not support Syria's recognition of Georgia's territorial integrity
Nino Tsilosani: Only radicals like Elene Khoshtaria followed her foot-stomping — her decision to blackmail opposition colleagues brought no results whatsoever
Shalva Papuashvili: Elene Khoshtaria showed no physical signs of having gone on a hunger strike, the country didn’t feel anything, and neither did the opposition – they are exactly where they were three days ago
Gia Volski: I don’t know what’s in Elene Khoshtaria’s or Gedi Popkhadze’s hearts; the fact is they made themselves visible and even sent the German ambassador on his way, yet nothing has actually changed — those who weren’t planning to take part in the elections still aren’t planning to
Kakha Kaladze: We already knew that the opposition parties who came out yesterday were refusing to participate in the elections – it’s absolutely unclear what the purpose or main message was behind either starting or ending the hunger strike
Elene Khoshtaria and Gedevan Popkhadze call off hunger strike
8 opposition parties refuse to participate in local self-government elections
Elene Khoshtaria: When I will end my hunger strike is my personal decision - I do not speak to anyone especially in the opposition with the language of blackmail - I speak loudly about the strategy that I consider necessary
Shalva Papuashvili: I think Mr. Fischer has finally given up on the ambassadorship and has become a supporter of the most radical wing of the usual radical opposition - the German people are definitely not the bearers of the values ​​that Peter Fischer shows
Ana Tsitlidze: We don't need toasts in the fight against the regime, citizens need clarity - Zurabishvili should have said what she had to say, clearly
Paata Manjgaladze: I don’t think we should need a hunger strike to agree on our positions with each other – now, with our unity, we somehow need to destroy Ivanishvili’s plan
Irakli Kupradze: We should all choose a political strategy that not only protects our own health but also damages Ivanishvili
Gedevan Popkhadze: We are protesting the situation that has been created and saying that we must confront it with united strength – we are on hunger strike as a sign of protest, not to make someone change their mind or act differently
Oleksii Reznikov - Russia, in reality, is a paper tiger
A Korean tamada: Opening of the Korean Embassy in Tbilisi
Israeli Ambassador to Georgia - Our strategy is not to have Hamas controlling the Gaza Strip - Unfortunately, the UN cooperates with Hamas, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch work in favor of Hamas
