Giorgi Sioridze: The indictment against Khazaradze and Japaridze claims they incited society to revolution and the overthrow of the government, which did not happen – Ivanishvili turned Georgia into a prison

Mikheil Saakashvili: I object to the indictment only in the shark case, and not the sanctions, because I indeed called on my numerous friends in the West to sanction Georgian Dream and I repeat that I will call on them again
ALDE: Georgia is sliding into full autocracy under Georgian Dream, and the world must not stay silent
Mamuka Khazaradze: Ivanishvili and the Russian Dream are in a serious panic, if something can be cooked up in a sick head, they wrote it down in a stupid indictment - there is an attempt to create some basis for banning our party
Badri Japaridze: Georgian Dream is accelerating the digging of its political grave
Reuters: Georgia charges key opposition figures with seeking to topple government - a move sure to deepen concerns about democracy in the EU candidate nation
