Minister of Justice of Georgia
Rati Bregadze
President of Georgia
Salome Zurabishvili
Former President of Georgia
Mikheil Saakashvili
Shalva Papuashvili: The statements of the Lithuanian Member of the European Parliament, Rasa Juknevičienė, have already come very close to the fascist statements - I would tell her - you cannot despise the entire nation because you hate Stalin
Shalva Papuashvili: These are searches conducted by the Prosecutor's Office during the investigation process, which are being carried out in accordance with legal procedures
Shalva Papuashvili: Meetings have begun, signs of dialogue have appeared - Georgia remains in the Western orbit, its door is open, it is committed to its 30-year strategic partnership with its friends and is ready to turn a new page
Shalva Papuashvili: If the boycott declared by the radical opposition has harmed anyone and led to a political grave, it is the radical opposition itself
Shalva Papuashvili: The French Embassy does not consider us people - no one is stupid here to believe that the embassy pays members of radical parties to draw tourist routes - I suspect this is indirect financing of the rallies
Shalva Papuashvili: Our goal is to show the new US administration that we are ready to start a new chapter in our partnership - we are ready for a relationship that will not be empty words, as it was during Biden's time
Shalva Papuashvili: We should thank Irakli Gharibashvili for the work he has done - he withstood the pressure, which was decisive in maintaining peace in Georgia
Irakli Karseladze: I had the happiness and honor to take part in the country’s development; it can be said that the country has reached a qualitatively higher level of progress, which will continue
Irakli Kobakhidze congratulates population on Easter
Shalva Papuashvili: We say that blackmailing the Georgian people with visas is unacceptable to us – no national job can be done under blackmail
Shalva Papuashvili: I do not expect any negative decision regarding the suspension of the visa-free regime - is visa-free travel godsend manna? We also have visa-free travel for Germans, so what?!
Shalva Papuashvili: Sanctions or visa restrictions have been turned into tools of political vendetta and unscrupulous influence
Shalva Papuashvili: It was pitiful to watch the former Prime Minister, who lies three times about the same issue within a few minutes – Gakharia’s testimony confirmed that he was acting under the instructions of a representative of a foreign country, with coordination down to the minute
Shalva Papuashvili: If some people abroad had the opportunity, they would even enter Georgia with tanks with the motivation of restoring democracy - sanctions are the cannons of the 21st century
Shalva Papuashvili: There is only one barrier to the restoration of relations between Georgia and Russia, and that is the occupation of Georgian territories by Russia - Russia can very easily remove this barrier
Shalva Papuashvili: It is good that Gakharia is coming to the investigative commission session - as for the fact whether they are in the parliament or not - how can they deceive their voters or others that they are not in the parliament, whereas they are in the parliament, there is no such thing as half-pregnancy
Shalva Papuashvili: Democracy cannot be consolidated through dirty methods - NGOs that spread hatred and incite violence cannot be considered civil society
Shalva Papuashvili: Street terror incited by donors and organized by NGOs is at its peak of abomination - after the violence of April 9, today, at 2 am, Georgian Rodionovs rushed to the house of Tea Tsulukiani, where her family lives with a young child
Michał Kobosko - we hope that your government eventually would either choose the European way, the democratic way or would resign seeing the number, the size and scale of the citizens' protests
