Roman Gotsiridze: Ivanishvili’s desire is for everyone to follow him to the grave - his approach is: I created you, I made you rich, I let you plunder the budget, so you must be my slaves - If they sanction me? Let them sanction you! If they kill me? Let them kill you!
Roman Gotsiridze on the detention of former high-ranking officials and others: This is what always happens in authoritarian regimes; it's not a real fight against corruption, it's a campaign - Ivanishvili is following Putin's footsteps
Roman Gotsiridze: In conditions of foreign isolation, a “money famine” will begin, so they will go after everyone, including businesses—a concept from Shevardnadze’s era, “tax collection,” will emerge
Roman Gotsiridze: Maka Botchorishvili's statement on Anaklia port is stupid, while the position of Kavelashvili's advisor on the "3+3 format" is a statement of a traitor
Roman Gotsiridze: It is very good that Giorgi Bachiashvili has left, and the form of his escape is humiliating - Bachiashvili humiliated Ivanishvili and his security forces
Roman Gotsiridze: Every crisis shows that the government belongs in the dustbin of history – they formed headquarters only after citizens took the initiative, they sit locked up drinking coffee, but what is the result?
Roman Gotsiridze: It’s enough for a single word to be recorded about Ivanishvili’s son in the context of sanctions, about the property that everything is tied to, and his case will be over. Therefore, very difficult days await Ivanishvili
Roman Gotsiridze: Bidzina Ivanishvili is already in a dispute with a third Swiss bank – wherever he may complain, he has zero chances, as the bank is complying with the sanctions’ requirements.
Roman Gotsiridze: "Georgian Dream" actually refused to join the European Union, this is a betrayal of the country - without the help of the EI, the country faces a catastrophic situation
Roman Gotsiridze: Where did the goods worth more than 900 million dollars exported from Georgia disappear? It is "framed" in Russia, because cars enter Kyrgyzstan through Russia - this means bypassing sanctions
Roman Gotsiridze: The European Union should see the people on the streets protesting the election fraud, after that it will be easy to make a decision - no big plan is needed
Roman Gotsiridze: The National Bank lost foreign currency reserves of 630 million dollars in the month of October alone
Roman Gotsiridze: "The survival of the GEL depends on the voter—we must not make a fatal mistake!"
Roman Gotsiridze: If this government retains power, Georgia will be completely isolated internationally, including from the financial and economic point of view - people should not make an irreparable mistake
Shalva Papuashvili on the opposition: if this is Europe, you should not go to work, then we cannot agree with some foreigners - we understand Europe in the way that the salary they receive from citizens should be used to implement the mandate
Roman Gotsiridze: "Georgian Dream" wants to change the profile of non-governmental organizations and turn them into governmental organizations - they are destroying one of the most important segments
Roman Gotsiridze: Nominating delegates means maintaining the majoritarian system in a roundabout way, which is an anti-constitutional decision
Roman Gotsiridze: What changes are needed to establish relations with Abkhazia? Probably, confederation is meant - to recognize the independence of Abkhazia - the statement of "Georgian Dream" can be called a program of treason
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
