OSCE Secretary General Feridun Sinirlioğlu Visits Georgia
Salome Zurabishvili: 100 days have passed since the unjust arrest of journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli – She has become a symbol of press freedom
Gia Volski on the OSCE Secretary General’s visit: There are expectations that the “deep state,” now from Brussels, will again support the opposition - The arrival of such a high-level official is one resource to put an end to it – Such visits throw the opposition into hysteria
Kakha Kaladze: Visa liberalization is not the priority – Georgia’s interests, independence, and sovereignty come first - European integration is being used to stir internal tensions and radical groups
Kakha Kaladze on the OSCE Secretary General’s visit – Such visits are welcome. As for the opposition’s attitude, it’s not interesting, because we don’t have an opposition; we have a radical group, agents, enemies of the country
Saba Buadze: No individual's visit to Tbilisi can legitimize an illegitimate power – The ‘Georgian Dream’s’ claimed ‘achievements’ are lies and an insult to the people
Maka Bochorishvili: Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region remain under Russian occupation – we consider the unconditional resumption of the Gali Mechanism essential
OSCE Secretary General: Stability in Georgia is vitally important, both for its people and for the interests of the region – we are committed to engaging in strengthening security in Georgia
Maka Bochorishvili: Georgia has become a clear example of open attempts at foreign interference in the country’s internal political affairs – attempts to use the OSCE for narrow political interests are unacceptable
Levan Sanikidze: We will express our position to European partners that sanctions should be tightened against specific individuals who are destroying the country, and that the cancellation of visa liberalization should not be used
