Nugzar Tsiklauri: Irakli Garibashvili is talking to Ivanishvili and trying to elicit a little sympathy; as for banning opposition forces, political parties have already been abolished
Nugzar Tsiklauri: Irakli Garibashvili is talking to Ivanishvili and trying to elicit a little sympathy; as for banning opposition forces, political parties have already been abolished
Lela Jejelava: Let Papuashvili answer this: when he attended Armaz Akhvlediani’s school, how did the school fail to brainwash him?! As for Gharibashvili, it seems that he has made a decision to enter politics in some form
Irakli Gharibashvili – Because of my 20-year relationship with Bidzina Ivanishvili and my attitude toward him, I stepped into the political slaughterhouse and went to prison without a word of protest; I made that sacrifice to protect the team and the country—and in return, I was "deceived" for the third time
Irakli Kobakhidze – If you believe Mamuka Mdinaradze left politics because of what Gharibashvili said, that is your problem; everyone must realize that no one can cover up corruption with letters
Irakli Kobakhidze on Grigol Liluashvili: Let him say whatever he wants—that is the right of any prisoner. Our government operates so cleanly that such talk and speculation never yield any results
Lasha Parulava: In 500 days Ivanishvili has replaced four heads of the SSG - today’s personnel reshuffle is connected to Mdinaradze; Geladze was his cadre, who was Gela in the "Nats" and became Geka in the "Kots"
Teimuraz Papaskiri: We already know on whose orders the dishonorable Iago Khvichia brought the notorious “40 million”; he spread an absolute lie and people in the opposition followed it - we have a problem with thinking and with conscience as well!
Gigi Tsereteli: If “Dream” is going to Europe to say “you are no good and you must accept us as we are,” this will not work - when Mr. Papuashvili arrives in Belgium, they will remind him of the political prisoners and the laws, and I advise him not to waste time in vain
Giga Bokeria - Gharibashvili is not a political prisoner, although there is a political order against him, there is no fight against corruption, when Ivanishvili turns against someone, they start digging into things that were previously considered the norm—this is a catastrophic picture - this is a catastrophic picture
Levan Machavariani on Irakli Gharibashvili - No one from our team has made such a statement regarding him being an agent - it is disappointing that a former leader is fighting the team with such methods
Shalva Papuashvili - I can't tell you why I was personally mentioned in Garibashvili's letter. As for Davit-Gareji, Lazare Jorbenadze committed grave sins, slandered the government, and may this person's soul rest in peace.
Lili Gelashvili: The team that Irakli Gharibashvili was protecting sacrificed him; they wanted to destroy him to the end - He had no specific reaction regarding Juansher Burchuladze – they were holding them as hostages
Lawyer: If Juansher Burchuladze had wanted to cooperate, he could have done so from the very first day; as for Gharibashvili, I am sure that a certain dialogue may have existed between them
Despite the plea agreement, Juansher Burchuladze will serve 3 years in prison - the former Defence Minister will also be fined 1 million GEL
Lasha Parulava: There was an agreement between Ivanishvili and Gharibashvili that Ivanishvili violated, therefore he is Gharibashvili’s target; as for the claim that Gharibashvili’s and UNM’s narratives coincide, we have been talking for years about the crimes of the “Kakhetian clan”
The Prosecutor’s Office has charged two persons, including former Defence Minister Juansher Burchuladze, with taking a particularly large bribe by a group and assisting in the taking of a bribe
Lela Jejelava: Partsakhaladze’s patriotism did not suddenly appear - going to the Russian war is an obligation; Putin obliges businessmen to create their own armed groups, which they themselves will maintain and ensure are present at the front
