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
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
Shalva Papuashvili: What we feel goes beyond ordinary pain, and what we experience goes beyond ordinary mourning - we had a “Patriarch of love” - He became an example of how one can love everyone: friend and enemy, righteous and sinner
In the courtyard of Sameba Cathedral, Mikheil Kavelashvili welcomed the President of Armenia, while Shalva Papuashvili welcomed the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis

Government of Georgia: A state commission will be formed to organize the Patriarch’s burial; days of mourning will continue through the day of burial
Shalva Papuashvili: In moments of hopelessness and despair, it was the Patriarch who bore the weight of the cross; he was a source of comfort and an intercessor for a nation in distress - he was much more to us than just the head of the Church
Grigol Gegelia - Papuashvili has the task of using every opportunity to campaign against the European Union and the historic choice of the Georgian people - he is one of the leading standard-bearers in this Russian mission
Irakli Kobakhidze, Shalva Papuashvili and Irakli Chikovani arrive at Caucasus Medical Center
Shalva Papuashvili - We do not stand on one leg, as some would like, like a person who wants to enter someone else's house, but we stand as a person who lives in his own house, distinguishing between good and evil
Shalva Papuashvili - We are a founding part of Europe - the fact that Georgia is not a member of the European Union does not mean that Georgia is not Europe or is less Europe than someone else
Irakli Kupradze: Shalva Papuashvili is shortening his path to the Hague Tribunal
Zurab Japaridze: I had to convince about ten people that Lelo - Strong Georgia ’s statement was not a coordinated game with Bidzina Ivanishvili. Those whom I could not convince, I asked to wait until this morning and see the response from Georgian Dream - here it is
Shalva Papuashvili: Mr. Peter is trying to provoke us even more instead of apologizing - this looks like waving fists after a fight
Shalva Papuashvili: How seriously can we take it when Zelenskyy and Sandu, who have banned parties in their own countries, are telling us to withdraw the lawsuit? — And why is there no list of prisoners? Should Elisashvili be released? Is there a terrorist on that list?
Shalva Papuashvili: We have nothing to discuss with “Lelo,” and they have nothing to discuss with us - let them talk to the Constitutional Court, and some of their members to the criminal court, where cases related to them are pending
Shalva Papuashvili: We have seen various methods of how attacks are launched against Georgia, against its right to make independent decisions - one such manifestation is various types of gatherings or statements from Brussels
