Proto-presbyter Father Giorgi Zviadadze: I can state with full responsibility that there is no will, and since the Patriarch appointed his locum tenens during his lifetime, there was no need for a will
Shalva Papuashvili: Salome Zurabishvili slandered the Church on a day of mourning, and now she raises questions about who was where and who was not - regarding the opposition, these people turned their backs on the country and the Church, and complaining about who was present or absent is hypocrisy
Proto-presbyter Giorgi Zviadadze on the Patriarch’s funeral: During the commission meeting, the Prime Minister emphasized that as many people as possible should be allowed into the cathedral - there were no instructions on who should or should not be given passes
Shalva Papuashvili: We witnessed a session of the Helsinki Commission during the days when Georgia was mourning - we did not hear a single word from Mr. Wilson or other members of the Commission, who claim to be supporters of the Georgian people.
Shalva Papuashvili: Those involved in the protests did not stop insulting the Church, diminishing the Patriarch, and opposing Georgian values even during these days - we saw a spiritually elevated Georgian nation and a spiritually degraded protest group
