Nikoloz Samkharadze: The PACE resolution does not reflect the developments that Georgia has had over the past 12 months - we will not return to PACE!
Nikoloz Samkharadze - We will continue our relations with the EU member states and win over many more so that they too demand the restoration of political dialogue with the European Commission
Valeri Chechelashvili: The tone of the European Parliament’s report has become tougher because the Georgian authorities’ attitude has become more rigid - sanctions against Georgian Dream members are now much more realistic
Nikoloz Samkharadze: We asked Luxembourg to raise with the European Commission the issue of resuming dialogue with Georgia - we are ready to discuss critical issues, including the transparency law
Nikoloz Samkharadze - We had an interesting discussion with representatives of the Department of State, which gives me reason to say that relations are reaching new heights - partnership should be mutually beneficial
Nikoloz Samkharadze - The Georgian delegation is a partner of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and we are participating in this event in order to further bring the parliamentary dimensions of Georgia and NATO closer together

David Darchiashvili: The Irakli Kobakhidze–Bidzina Ivanishvili tandem must realize that the message should be: “The situation is serious!” By acknowledging this, everyone will see that the authorities are looking for a way out, while some form of dialogue should be sought by the opposing sides
Nikoloz Samkharadze - There are always attempts to use Georgia to circumvent sanctions, and among them, to a large extent, by European companies - so let them look after their own companies first
Nikoloz Samkharadze - Kaja Kallas stated that we are in such a state that we should start drinking - when a person says that Russia is winning in Georgia, I think she is indeed under alcoholic intoxication
Nikoloz Samkharadze - It is important that the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly condemned the attack on institutions and the violent attempt to overthrow the government
Nikoloz Samkharadze: We simply exchanged views - the OSCE mission did not come here to give recommendations to anyone - there is one main reason for the lack of dialogue: the opposition does not recognize the election results
