Giga Bokeria
Giorgi Sharashidze: It will definitely not be an easy walk for Kobakhidze in Parliament - I hope he will have enough courage to name the person who called from the ‘deep state’ as well
Tina Bokuchava: The order on June 20 was given by Anzor Chubinidze, not Gakharia; I could read that in Gakharia’s expression as he ran through Parliament’s corridors looking frantic; as for Kobakhidze, his removal was Ivanishvili’s tactical maneuver, after which he returned to his pro-Russian course
Lasha Pharulava: The responsibility for the bloody night of June 20 does not lie with Gakharia or Garibashvili, but with Bidzina Ivanishvili - he is the conductor of this orchestra and will have to take political responsibility for everything
Shalva Papuashvili: The people who are in parliament today under the name of the party ‘For Georgia’ should think and realize that the fugitive Gakharia is simply mocking them
Giorgi Sharashidze: Of course, we are not unhappy about our neighbors’ progress; it is welcome that they are advancing in the process of Euro-integration and strengthening strategic relations
“For Georgia” party: We heard an alarming statement from Maria Zakharova that Russia is confidentially working to move the Geneva format to ‘neutral territory’ - we demand that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs state whether it is participating in these negotiations
Berdia Sichinava: Juansher Burchuladze is being punished because he stole more than was permitted, and now he is not returning the money, while Mamuka Mdinaradze’s luck is this: in the morning you are appointed a general, and in the evening you are turned into a coordinator and locked in a two-room office in the Government Chancellery
Berdia Sichinava: The prosecution has 1,060 witnesses in the June 20 case - name a single witness or piece of evidence implicating Gakharia - With hearings held once a month, how many decades will it take to finish the case?
Giorgi Gakharia - May the defeat of Russia and its proxies continue wherever they operate across the globe
Berdia Sitchinava - The judge did not attach the conclusion of the Moscow Mechanism to the June 20 case, but did attach the conclusion of the Tea Tsulukiani Commission
Irakli Kobakhidze: “Lelo” is trying to avoid a constitutional lawsuit, but I doubt they will succeed; Gakharia’s party managed this earlier when it entered parliament
Giga Parulava - The Moscow Mechanism report is the gravest for our country, no one has any reason to be happy! - I appeal to the voters of Dream: the only one who can still stop this inadequacy is you!
Giorgi Sharashidze on Salome Zurabishvili: Betrayal is when you leave the battlefield - in fact, 12 of us are doing the work of the entire opposition
Berdia Sichinava: Former Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze, former Defense Minister, former head of the State Security Service, head of the Intelligence Service, and Finance Minister will have to come to court in the “Chorchana case” and answer questions
Tata Khvedeliani - It is unfortunate that the Moscow Mechanism has been activated, although the Dream deserved it - we provided experts with information about serious human rights violations and that political revenge is being carried out against Giorgi Gakharia
Levan Makhashvili - Giorgi Gakharia should present concrete evidence to the public or explain why he is lying about participating in the Munich Security Conference - I can't tell you what this bragging serves
Berdia Sichinava on “Chorchana episode” - This is an unprecedentedly shameful act when the prosecution uses the position of the occupation regime's agency as evidence in the case
Tbilisi City Court upholds pre-trial detention imposed on Georgia Giorgi Gakharia in connection with the so-called Chorchana episode
