Gia Volski on Georgian Dream MPs supporting Gakharia's party bill regarding assemblies and demonstrations: "They likely pressed [the button] by inertia"
Gia Volski – Baramidze’s statement is a direct attack on the state
Gia Volski on Irakli Garibashvili: Statements like these will not help him save himself - I cannot say that all of this is something he suddenly blurted out; there is a plan to contribute to a revolutionary scenario so that, if a revolution takes place, he will receive leniency
Gia Volski: What Irakli Gharibashvili claims is absurd — it has been confirmed that a person committed suicide, and this cannot have any connection to this situation - I think he wants to contribute to revolutionary processes so that later he might receive some dividend
Gia Volski - There is no basis to claim that the government blames our country for the start of the war - if the Georgian Dream had not come to power, then the name of the perpetrator would have remained in Georgia
Gia Volski: The content of Irakli Garibashvili’s statement is pathetic, meaningless, and devoid of any logic; I feel sorry for what happened to him, for the situation he is in, and for the reasons that led him into this situation
Gia Volski: The aim is to discredit Ivanishvili - no other content can be read in this miserable letter – a person would have to be light-headed to call the party leader and ask whether he really sent such a letter - I hope Gharibashvili has been misled
Gia Volski - Mikheil Saakashvili did not have an order to strain relations with Russia, but on the contrary, to resolve, sort out relations and help Russia join international organizations - today it is a completely different order!
Gia Volski: Maka Bochorishvili’s invitation to Washington is serious evidence that cooperation with Georgia is of particular importance - relations with our country will also be a significant asset for the United States
Gia Volski - The OSCE has put an end to the authority of its own observation mission - behind the resolution lies the political interest of a small group, although this group determines the results of the vote
Gia Volski: Only member countries are invited to the NATO summit; claims that Georgia has been sidelined are propaganda - Partner countries will be in the Munich Security format, where the Foreign Minister has traveled
Gia Volski on Mikheil Saakashvili: He is an inadequate person, and this, to some extent, explains the formation of a sect that is a loyal supporter despite this inadequacy - He wants to humiliate Khabeishvili, he wants to humiliate Bokuchava, and soon he will probably go after Jorjoliani as well
Gia Volski: I have a suspicion that there are people interested in creating a red line between the European Union and Georgia, while also allowing Russia to implement its policies - sanctions are the same; this would plunge Georgia into an irreversible process of destruction
Gia Volski: The aim of the resolution is to somehow preserve the resources of extremist-oriented opposition in Georgia, so that they are not dismantled - the political aspects included in the document are the pinnacle of injustice
Gia Volski - We are quite proficient in the technical side, as soon as we start talking about political issues, we are armed with serious arguments - the topic of visa liberalization loses its meaning altogether if the country is destroyed and devastated
Gia Volski: It is a simplistic assessment to say that Armenia is striving toward the EU while Georgia is not - the EU simply has a different approach toward Armenia and Georgia
Gia Volski - Our ambassador to Germany has been nominated for so long and this topic has not been properly discussed there
Gia Volski: They used to plan a "peaceful overthrow", now they are planning a "peaceful confrontation"
