Irakli Gharibashvili
Salome Samadashvili - No one meets Bochorishvili or the ambassador in Brussels unless they catch someone in the corridor and shake their hand - unlike them, they talk to us - in order to start any kind of dialogue, it is necessary to take concrete steps
Salome Samadashvili - Europe has become stronger, Russia has become weaker, this will not change our reality instantly, the main thing is that a "rearrangement" has taken place in the European political space, in our favor - strategically Georgia has also taken a step forward
Salome Samadashvili - The deportation of the Azerbaijani journalist was no coincidence, this episode also shows how Ivanishvili destroyed the state - Georgia is the weakest link in the region
Salome Samadashvili - Georgia has no support, allies, ideology, or foreign policy
Salome Samadashvili - When making a historic choice, it was hard for anyone to imagine that 35 years would pass and Georgia would still be on the brink of existence - Georgia has more friends supporting it today, but the fight is ours to win
Salome Samadashvili - The European Union can do a lot and this was clearly demonstrated in connection with the Kulevi port - they waved one finger from Brussels and Georgian Dream realized that the matter was very serious
Salome Samadashvili - I want to tell all the victims of the regime: you have found a new important mechanism to hold the regime accountable for all violations
Salome Samadashvili - Georgian Dream is quickly becoming like a person falling into a swamp, sinking deeper with every new move
Salome Samadashvili: The environment for European diplomats in Georgia is more hostile than in Russia - as for Iran, no matter who is in power today, everyone would have to take a very cautious position
Salome Samadashvili - Ivanishvili's regime will have to comply with the sanctions imposed on their propaganda channels and will have to comply with other sanctions that the West will impose against them in the future
Salome Samadashvili: The National Bank is today effectively "in the pocket" of "Georgian Dream" - any movement in the banks and financial system will trigger an economic collapse tsunami - Turnava has established herself as a recidivist
Salome Samadashvili - Georgian Dream is trying to bring Georgia back under the full political rule of Russia - Shalva Papuashvili's statementabout cadets is cynicism and an insult to the memory of the cadets
Salome Samadashvili: The recent changes are a manifestation of the government’s weakness - The law will be appealed, including to the European Court of Human Rights, because it contradicts the Convention
Salome Samadashvili: The Bolsheviks dealt with Georgian society even faster - they loaded people into wagons and shot them; the goal today is the same: purging society of undesirable elements - thinking, conscientious, and patriotic citizens
Salome Samadashvili: New, free, and democratic elections are the only way to end this imitative surrealism, calm the country, and return it to its natural path of development
Salome Samadashvili - The finale of "silence" is the same for everyone: the collapse of freedom - it's time for everyone to at least throw down the flag of a bankrupt regime, if they are afraid to raise the banner of truth
Salome Samadashvili: Garibashvili’s arrest is not connected to the fight against corruption even formally - we do not even know how much money he stole, if he stole any, or how he stole it - this has nothing to do with the rule of law either
Salome Samadashvili - Ivanishvili's provincial autocracy servants are afraid to say anything about Trump - Trump conducted a special operation in Venezuela, Maduro is being tried in New York, and Papuashvili is still cursing Brussels
