President of Georgia
Salome Zurabishvili
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
Tata Khvedeliani: “Dream” wants to blame others for what is happening in the country, but it is clear that isolation of the country, impoverishment of the people, enrichment through nepotism and corruption have become our daily reality, and out of fear of losing all this, you are destroying even the achievements made so far
Salome Zurabishvili on question: is she waiting for her arrest - I am not the main object of the new changes, this does not apply only to Salome Zurabishvili, it applies to everyone - I am not going anywhere, why should I go?
Peter Fischer - We are not regime change agents, we don't care who governs Georgia
Giorgi Gakharia to participate in Munich Security Conference
Giorgi Sharashidze: Exclusive information: Ivanishvili sent another envoy to the U.S. - Mamuka Mdinaradze
Shalva Papuashvili on the “Gakharia for Georgia” party: What Gakharia is, that is the party
Giorgi Gakharia: The accusations against me are clearly coordinated with Russia and the occupation regime
Giorgi Sharashidze: We are ready for debates - for Giorgi Gakharia, only Bidzina Ivanishvili is the opponent
Teimuraz Papaskiri: BBC leadership will not respond to Georgian Dream’s statement in a way satisfactory to the party - instead, they plan to present new evidence
Shalva Kereselidze: Gakharia is the only one whom neither threats nor attacks could stop - as for the “Dream”’s little boys, I would advise them not to overdo it, otherwise the most eager among them have already been sent to prison by their patron as a New Year’s gift
The South Caucasus: Strategic Autonomy Needed
Estonian Ambassador: I will be leaving Tbilisi later this week - Does my departure reflect the current state of relations between Georgia and Estonia? Of course it does - I cannot hide that
UAE’s Minister of State for International Cooperation Reem Al Hashimy - “We will leave no stone unturned to make sure that we do defend ourselves”
