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
Shalva Papuashvili: Failure to condemn extremism hiding behind the name of Europe generates pro-European terrorism – Brussels has gone down this path so quickly that we should not expect condemnation
Shalva Papuashvili on Aleko Elisashvili: Today, a leader of a party that is a member of ALDE attempted to carry out a terrorist act – Welcome to the value-filled European Union
Shalva Papuashvili - I agree with Fischer that in case of an attitude like his, our union with Europe will be difficult - Mr. Fischer's file is closed to us
We will do everything for EU membership, but we will not beg the Brussels bureaucracy - this is what the Brussels bureaucracy wanted! - We once again endorse every word of Irakli Kobakhidze's November 28 statement! - the Chairman of the Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, told journalists.
Shalva Papuashvili - Brussels has become a symbol of hypocrisy today - our legislation provides for transparency in lobbying, so thy should obey Georgian legislation and stop hidden financing
Shalva Papuashvili - Last year, one of the leaders of the Swedish government called for "Maidan" and radicalization, the Swedish government has not yet distanced itself from that statement - not condemning violence is inciting future violence
Tinatin Bolokadze, member of “Coalition for Change”: We have been dissidents for a year already - as for Melia and Saakashvili, the ‘National Movement’ should be part of the unity - the ‘red lines’ exist only with Gakharia’s party
Shalva Papuashvili on online media: They are NGOs with microphones, “Transparency International with microphones,” funded propagandists whose goal is to establish a narrative beneficial to Brussels
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
