Shalva Papuashvili
Shalva Papuashvili - There is still time until Monday for ALDE and Lelo to at least formally avoid becoming a party collaborating with a terrorist
Public Defender visits Aleksandre Elisashvili
Strong Georgia - Lelo responds to Shalva Papuashvili’s statement regarding Aleko Elisashvili
Shalva Papuashvili: They have until this week; if Aleko Elisashvili is not expelled, from Monday ‘Citizens,’ ‘Strong Georgia,’ and ‘ALDE’ will officially become organizations protecting a terrorist
Mikheil Kavelashvili - We should consider Aleko Elisashvili's actions and the BBC film in a unified context, it is a terrorist act - I am sure that there was an order for both Aleko Elisashvili and the BBC
Nino Tsilosani - ALDE is stuck in the Georgia of the 90s - it thinks that Georgian institutions are relying on Western equipment or assistance in every way - ALDE is the party that protects the National Movement and this evil force
Shalva Papuashvili - Now there is a simple question - when will Lelo expel a perpetrator of a terrorist act from its ranks? The same question is addressed to ALDE - How compatible is having a terrorist as a member and Europe?
Shalva Papuashvili: Does "Lelo" intend to expel Aleko Elisashvili? I wonder, should "ALDE" have terrorists in its ranks and then talk to us about being a European party?
Irakli Kupradze on the Aleko Elisashvili case: We believe this was not the correct form of protest - it harmed the party’s interests and possibly the protest’s interests as well
Mikheil Saakashvili: Regimes usually plant provocateurs inside protest movements who will do anything for money – the Elisashvili case looks like a pre-staged performance - I am sure people are not “buying it”
Prosecutor: Aleko Elisashvili attempted to draw a weapon during the confrontation with bailiffs - the bailiffs sustained various injuries, including bite marks
Aleko Elisashvili’s Wife: Alexandre is not a terrorist; he has spent his life trying to show love for his homeland - which he spoke about during the trial, and I find convincing. I don’t believe in conspiracy theories
Aleko Elisashvili: If I had wanted to injure someone, none of the bailiffs would be alive – I am impressed by the bailiff, respect to his manhood, he clung to me like a tick and I couldn’t shake him off - well done! I confirm the fact, but I have committed no crime
Aleko Elisashvili: I’ll tell you what hit me and what bit into me: I wanted to set fire to injustice, to repression - I wanted to slap everyone! It was a pre‑made decision, I bought and prepared everything
Aleko Elisashvili placed in custody over attempted terrorist act
Lawyer: Aleko Elisashvili’s intent was not to commit a terrorist act
Prosecutor’s Statement: Chemical expert examination confirms that the substance Aleko Elisashvili poured in the courtroom after entering is highly flammable
Irakli Kupradze: Three things I know about Aleko Elisashvili: he is wanted by the Russian regime for terrorism, he is a patriotic citizen, and he has publicly beaten Mamuka Mdinaradze, who is spiteful and vengeful
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
