Shalva Papuashvili - Today, America is already talking about the problems that we have been pointing out to Brussels for a long time - this is already an alarm bell sounded from within the West, which is waking up Europe to resolve the deep political crisis
Tazo Datunashvili: There is an old Tbilisi saying: ‘Even three men are a gang,’ and now that too becomes punishable; they say, ‘No one cares about 50 people,’ ‘Let them do whatever they want,’ and at the same time, they restrict standing on the sidewalk; they have hysterical, panicked fear — there is no other explanation
Shalva Papuashvili: The problem today is with NATO - what does an open door mean? Standing in the open carries risks; using Ukraine as an example
Shalva Papuashvili: The British Ambassador spreads lies and disinformation – raises questions about who is behind the BBC report
Shalva Papuashvili: We saw the German Ambassador in confusion – don’t obstruct others’ movement
Shalva Papuashvili: There is absolutely no doubt in society; the only people who have doubts are that group whose brains have been washed –who are being convinced that a parrot lost its feathers because World War I chemical weapons were used
Shalva Papuashvili - Declaring a person exposed to be involved in a terrorist crime as a “comrade-in-arms” by a political party creates a serious legal and ethical problem
Irakli Kupradze: On Monday, the illegitimate Speaker of Parliament will come out and label us a terrorist party - start counting time not for us, but for yourselves, the ones who carried out a chemical attack on the Georgian people
Shalva Papuashvili - There is still time until Monday for ALDE and Lelo to at least formally avoid becoming a party collaborating with a terrorist
Shalva Papuashvili - For two months, Brussels has refused to condemn and dissociate itself from the violent storming of the Georgian presidential palace by extremist groups on October 4
Strong Georgia - Lelo responds to Shalva Papuashvili’s statement regarding Aleko Elisashvili
Shalva Papuashvili: They have until this week; if Aleko Elisashvili is not expelled, from Monday ‘Citizens,’ ‘Strong Georgia,’ and ‘ALDE’ will officially become organizations protecting a terrorist
Shalva Papuashvili: It has been proven that no World War I chemicals were used - will the European Commission spokesperson, MEPs, and hired NGOs, who swarmed the country like fleas, apologize?
Shalva Papuashvili - We saw a story based on the stories of gossipy Georgians, as soon as it got down to business, everyone showed cowardice, the pediatrician dressed in a Ukrainian military uniform began to deny - everyone should give testimony to the investigation
Shalva Papuashvili - The internal structures of the European Union cannot eliminate corruption in European structures - there is a suspicion that we are also dealing with corruption when the financing of various organizations in Georgia is secretly being carried out
Shalva Papuashvili - Now there is a simple question - when will Lelo expel a perpetrator of a terrorist act from its ranks? The same question is addressed to ALDE - How compatible is having a terrorist as a member and Europe?
Shalva Papuashvili: Does "Lelo" intend to expel Aleko Elisashvili? I wonder, should "ALDE" have terrorists in its ranks and then talk to us about being a European party?
Shalva Papuashvili: This is a hybrid war tactic, and the BBC report is being used as a weapon - It is also a useful process because everyone becomes fully exposed - both the agents and those giving them instructions
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
