Speaker of Parliament of Georgia
Shalva Papuashvili
Former PM of Georgia; For Georgia chairman
Giorgi Gakharia
Former President of Georgia
Giorgi Margvelashvili
Giorgi Volski: I think many topics will be raised that, in their view, are needed to justify sanctions or continue political attacks – I do not exclude that the BBC article was released for this purpose
Gia Volski: If a protest should take place somewhere, it should be at the European Union Embassy, demanding to know why the negotiation process was halted; society has been divided; this is terrible - it is a sabotage against our country
Parliament supports abolition of temporary administrative-territorial unit on the territory of the former South Ossetian Autonomous Region in the first reading
Gia Volski on peace plan - Pragmatism requires that the war be stopped at this stage, otherwise the destruction and casualties will continue - some people are in favor of peace, others are in favor of the development of war, in this case the European bureaucracy appears to be a "war party"
Gigi Tsereteli: I am not surprised by people who sell lies as truth - declares the violation of the constitution, political repression, and the deprivation of free choice as a step on the European path
Gia Volski: It is easier to influence the will of those living abroad using technology than to influence people who live here - Also, Georgia should have a strong economic situation so that people do not seek meager incomes abroad
Gia Volski on OSCE/ODIHR: Instead of calling on protesters to obey the law, they call on the state not to take measures against those who attacked the Presidential Palace with so-called “masculine force”; I do not think this is a fair appeal
Gia Volski: The process against Gakharia is not political - he left the Georgian Dream under suspicious circumstances, took steps that were related to creating a problem for national security, I think this was a political demarche
Gia Volski: Visa liberalization will not be discussed today, this topic will be discussed at the end of November, or in early December, but this discussion, which will take place today, will certainly be important for further discussions
Gia Volski: Mrs Aza knows exactly what fate Saakashvili’s government inflicted on IDPs; she should not stand with those people - Old age is no shield, these protests are the leftovers of a failed revolution
Gia Volski: Thank god, the entire Government is not corrupt - Thank god there is the resource to spare no one - God forbid anyone commits such a violation again - There will be no mercy if the red line is crossed
Davit Mzhavanadze: If the ‘communist’ Gia Volski bans me, what will that change? Will I be unable to speak my mind?! – Merab Kostava and Zviad Gamsakhurdia were called ‘informals,’ and our ‘informality’ is not a choice, but a reality created by Georgian Dream
Gia Volski on Dorote Kurashvili: I couldn't believe it and thought it was AI-generated - what we're seeing; he directly and aggressively opposed one of the main themes from the prayer: 'Deliver us from evil and spare us misfortune' - this cleric did
Gia Volski: If a former or current teammate, especially a high-ranking official, is exposed in the fight against corruption, this is a tragedy for us - no corruption, no enrichment, no tolerance!
Grigol Gegelia: We must understand that it’s not Keir Starmer or Scholz talking about education reform, but Kobakhidze, the head of a terrorist regime, so the goal is clear - I see a very high risk of political purges
Gia Volski: The fence of the President’s Palace is not designed to withstand a furious, enraged mass crashing into it and demolishing it - “The fence was weak” resembles an incompetent attempt at self-justification
Gia Volski: Georgia has not taken any steps that would harm US interests in our country - the Georgian government does not correspond to the characterization we heard from some senators
Gia Volski: October 4 showed what a peaceful overthrow attempt means - we survived very grave processes! We have grounds to think that one of the tasks was to kill a person, when a police officer was attacked and suffered a severe injury
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
