If you press the buttons today, you will state that you are acting not in the interest of Georgia, but in the interest of foreign countries, no matter who this country is! Such a statement made today the Speaker of the Parliament.

“Here, the word “treason” was mentioned many times. Eka Sarkeulidze, Nato Chkheidze, Rostom Chkheidze made speeches. Nato and Rostom demanded to hang Zviad Gamsakhurdia’s portrait in this hall. In your opinion, these are the ideals of Gamsakhurdia, what you do? If you are based on the statements of foreign press speakers, what law should we adopt and what law should we not adopt...

What is the issue today - is the law on the influence of foreign countries. If you stand on the side of the influence of a foreign country and not on the side of the influence of the Georgian people, are these the ideals of Zviad Gamsakhurdia? Your ideal is that money should flow here so that the man and son do not report to the citizens of this country, spend money quietly in politics - are these the ideals of Gamsakhurdia? Here you stand!

You have all your politics organized around the announcement made by someone’s press speaker, someone’s parliamentarian abroad. You came here after 30 years of Georgia’s independence - you came here looking outside, what direction and tone will come to you from outside and you continue talking with this tone.

It is a shame - you frame the parliament hall that you are not acting in the interests of the Georgian people, but in the interests of foreign countries. Treason, if anything, is open treason!

If you press the buttons today, you will state that you are acting not in the interest of Georgia, but in the interest of foreign countries, whoever this country may be! A foreign country is always a foreign country - you act not in the interests of the Georgian people, but in the interests of a foreign country”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
