Gia Volski: Person claiming to be legitimate president should either be held accountable or evaluated by psychiatrists
Gia Volski: We expect a reset in relations with the U.S., and there is a basis for it; this is not just talk
Gia Volski: There is no repression; all grants that serve the country’s development interests are allowed; the only exception is the so‑called grant that constitutes "black money"
Gia Volski: It defies all logic for partners to say the country should be governed through NGOs and that these groups should be funded to finance extremist processes - Marta Kos’s statement is also unimaginable
Gia Volski: I don’t think Maia Sandu’s statement has any value
Gia Volski: Debates are meant for people with opposing views who care about the country’s better future, not for those who have committed crimes
Gia Volski - It is necessary to know what creates the need for the price increase, which places such a heavy burden on the population, may be this is sabotage? Or, maybe, there are mechanisms that will overcome this problem
Gia Volski: Bringing debates into a toxic field will yield no results - healthy debates are needed, and there must be a fair environment for everyone
Gia Volski on MPs who own businesses: They were wealthy before entering Parliament, pay huge sums into the budget – god bless everyone, no one uses a parliamentary mandate for business
Gia Volski: The countries invited to the "Peace Council" are those involved in severe processes related to war, whether in the Middle East or Central Europe
Gia Volski: It is the President’s prerogative whether there were consultations - he knows the positions of the opposition, the government, and the “Revolutionary Committee,” and I am confident he will make the right decision
Gia Volski: Those who have not repented deserve no pardon; on the other hand, some may reflect because of the pardon - the president must analyze many aspects
Gia Volski - Of course, pardon is exactly what should characterize a state, but it depends on certain factors - when a person tells you that Georgia should be destroyed and does not feel any remorse, it is difficult to talk about pardon
Gia Khukhashvili: In effect, a Third World War is underway - not territorial in nature, but ideological; Trump has no room to retreat, and if he fails to take action, it will be seen as weakness; therefore, he will move to action in the coming hours
Gia Volski - The video clip released by the EU Embassy is not Pavel Herczynski’s decision - it is another shameless expression of the attitude that Brussels has towards Georgia
Gia Volski – My attitude towards Irakli personally has always been warm, friendly - for me this is a personal tragedy
Gia Volski - The Venice Commission has been formed as a truncheon for a specific country, regarding which Marta Kos, Kaja Kallas or Yukneviçiene have their own political views
Gia Volski - There is a main dictated plan towards the so-called opposition, that the government in Georgia should be changed - destabilization is the first task, then bringing in a puppet government
Five years of Sadyr Japarov’s Presidency: The main test is still ahead
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
