Shalva Papuashvili - It is important that the voices of European patriots are heard louder in the European Parliament, however, the regressive forces that are driving the European Union towards a dark past are still strong
Shalva Papuashvili on debates in European Parliament - Yesterday we saw inadequate, unrealistic texts - they are still talking about chemical weapons from the First World War, even the parrot is laughing at this false narrative
Shalva Papuashvili - If anyone is interested in what the civilizational abyss in Europe looks like, they should watch yesterday's session of the European Parliament - this is no longer the Europe of which we Georgians are co-creators
Shalva Papuashvili to Kaja Kallas - So, if you want to become a member of the European Union, you shouldn't be able to say anything? - This is what the White House calls the “Estonization” of EU foreign policy

Shalva Papuashvili on Marta Kos - She has no idea what the Georgian people want –let them give up this attitude that someone is a superman and someone is a sub-man
Shalva Papuashvili: Ocourse, we are in favor of normalization of relations with Russia - the prerequisite for this is the recognition of Georgia's territorial integrity
Shalva Papuashvili on BBC - Lawyers are working, we are preparing this lawsuit - the appeal needs to be prepared, including, presumably, by the use of local, British legal aid
Shalva Papuashvili: As if Georgia were the initiator of World War I, a major participant in it, or as if chemical weapons were our invention - this slander has been exposed - If international institutions have questions, the authorities are ready to provide information
Nino Dolidze: NGOs had to leave Georgia for other countries - this is an alternative way for them to survive - The legislative changes over the past year represent a systemic deterioration of the law

Shalva Papuashvili about the joint photo of Irakli Kobakhidze and Vladimir Putin - Do you see a problem with the fact that you and the Russian President live on the same planet? No meeting with Putin is scheduled
Shalva Papuashvili - I don't know what made Gakharia's party happy about the Strasbourg Court's decision, they want to portray that they are in a good position
Shalva Papuashvili - The European Union has become a territory of restrictions on freedom of speech, territory of conflict, not peace - where would we be if we had not withstood pressure? We would have been where Ukraine is today, when they can no longer have peace or war
Grigol Gegelia: ALDE gave a very clear three-line response to the hysterical campaign led by Kobakhidze and Papuashvili, putting the pro-Russian regime in its place
Guram Macharashvili: ALDE, like the BBC, was forced to distance itself from Elisashvili’s actions – I can’t say they were ashamed, because shame has nothing to do with them
Shalva Papuashvili: Brussels does not realize the real scale of its civilizational crisis, which increases the risk that the European Union will remain “European” only in name - Political changes in Brussels are inevitable
ALDE on Aleko Elisashvili’s case: Of course we do not justify these actions, just as we will never justify violence or the use of chemical weapons against peaceful protesters
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
