Salome Zurabishvili
Former President of Georgia
Mikheil Saakashvili
Mamuka Khazaradze: I had a personal conflict with Elisashvili, and I am not satisfied with Gakharia's answers, if anyone is satisfied, let them sign an alliance with him - for me, the content is of great importance and I will not betray the principle
Mamuka Mdinaradze: Most likely, Gakharia will be instructed to join Lelo, because with the current configuration, Lelo will not be able to approach the 5% threshold
Ana Buchukuri: Reports about the possible unification of Gakharia for Georgia party and Lelo is a lie
Mikheil Daushvili: We only welcome cooperation with the President, including for the election - I have no information about whether she is going to create any unity with us
Giorgi Gakharia: Statement by Josep Borrell today is the result of Georgian Dream’s treasonous policy
Davit Matikashvili: These people had been calling each other "fraudsters", today one part wants to have a relationship and contact with the other
Ana Buchukuri: Our strategy is that the National Movement and Georgian Dream do not take more than 50% in total in these elections
Giorgi Gakharia: the more people come to the elections, the fewer votes "Georgian Dream" will steal - at this stage, we will continue the election campaign independently
Giorgi Gakharia: Georgian Dream has already started the process of rigging elections, but they will not achieve results
Giorgi Gakharia: It is extremely unfortunate that we have reached an extremely damaging edge in our relations with our strategic partners
People's Power: Foreign ministers of four EU member states are coming to Georgia, whose goal is the growth of radicalism and interference in the country's internal affairs - the government should discuss whether these politicians deserve to be allowed into the country
Giorgi Gakharia: The Georgian Dream plans to declare its opposing citizens as enemies - the weak and corrupt Government has become Moscow's "useful idiot"
Levan Khabeishvili: It will end badly for the government, I feel sorry for them - history will surely preserve their conversations, attitude and betrayal of the state
Giorgi Gakharia: I just advised Kakha Kaladze to focus on football or help himself, he did not understand, his choice is clear
Kakha Kaladze: The father of Giorgi Kochorashvili represents the National Movement, he is a member of Giorgi Gakharia's party
Giorgi Gakharia on the draft law "On Transparency of Foreign Influence" - "Georgian Dream" needed this in order to confront Georgian society and divide it into two parts
Mamuka Mdinaradze: President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili "does someone’s tasks" and if she is told, she will create a third political center
Giorgi Gakharia: Unfortunately, it's my fault as well, it's our fault as well, that today there is only one institution functioning in Georgia, and this institution is called Ivanishvili
Robin Wagener - With the law on "transparency of foreign influence", there will be no EU membership - No chance for that
Estonian Ambassador to Georgia - If we want EU membership, we should all play by the rules - The Georgian Government on the one hand says that they are moving closer to the EU, but their actions do not prove that
