Shalva Papuashvili: Salome Zurabishvili is a self-proclaimed ex-president; abroad, she probably carries the standard folded - this situation deserves a Hollywood or at least Bollywood movie
Shalva Papuashvili: For the second reading on non-recognition of constitutional bodies, there will be a specific formulation of what is punishable - this is not about an individual, but about Georgia; some foreigners treat recognition of our country as if it’s recognizing a khachapuri
Shalva Papuashvili: There are groups that say European integration carries risks, and we are ready to discuss this - we do not want EU membership just to be marked on paper while the country is destroyed
Shalva Papuashvili: We have experience both as a target of foreign interference and in countering it - we shared this with the Council of Europe

Shalva Papuashvili: One thing has already become clear - Brussels will neither condemn nor distance itself from the attack on the Presidential Palace; this is no longer silence, this is a position
Grigol Gegelia - Did Kobakhidze bring anything to Georgia from any of the previous meetings in the Emirates? - Nothing, he won't bring anything now either - China is not interested in the Dream, and Trump is not interested in mediocre regimes at all
Parliament’s spring session to open today
Tomorrow, Parliament’s spring session will open
Nino Tsilosani: At one time, we all participated in working meetings with NGOs, but unlike them, I did not receive a blood transfusion - I did not renounce my Georgian identity or my country’s interests
A draft resolution providing for the establishment of a special temporary commission on price regulation issues has been initiated in Parliament
Shalva Papuashvili on Michael Gahler's statement - The use of such stupid language does not belittle the leaders of Georgia, but smears the country he represents - this grave mistake can be corrected by apologizing and deleting the post
Shalva Papuashvili: People learned about the supposedly “secret” 1-lari deal from my own declaration - there was nothing to investigate or uncover - in reality, the matter concerns the formalization of a grandfather’s inheritance between two cousins

Five years of Sadyr Japarov’s Presidency: The main test is still ahead
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
