Giga Bokeria: Another politician is in prison as a result of political persecution
Giga Bokeria on Kote Ioseliani: This is yet another alarming and shameful symptom of where Ivanishvili’s regime is leading the country - We are dealing with a dangerous phenomenon
Giga Bokeria: If the distinguished preacher of the regime's hatred wanted to debate and discuss with me, she should not have avoided interactive debates every time I was in parliament
Giga Bokeria on Ivanishvili’s letter: It is yet another shameless admission of betraying Georgia’s national interests - He says, “Because of my financial issues, I won’t meet the U.S. Ambassador and resolve the crisis in our relations”
Giga Bokeria on the investigative commission: For years, they talk about the Bokeria-Saakashvili regime and call Khazaradze and Japaridze names, in order to label everyone under the same label - No one should participate in this circus
Giga Bokeria on Dunnigan-Botchorishvili meeting: Ambassadors talk to politically illegitimate regimes everywhere - we should not be hysterical about this - there was a very aggressive message in dry and diplomatic language
Giga Bokeria: Today we face the challenge of having an external enemy and a government within the country that is helping this enemy with its stepsa
Giga Bokeria: We needed a government that would leverage the geopolitical situation, threats, and opportunities to move forward, but instead, they created a crisis themselves – they have a treacherous agenda

Giga Bokeria: It is important to unite different political forces regarding the necessary steps to be taken after the defeat of Ivanishvili's regime
Giga Bokeria: all those who talk in advance about electoral grouping between parties are acting irresponsibly and endangering coordination against Ivanishvili's regime
Giga Bokeria: public protest should shake this regime so that they have to accept giving up power
Giga Bokeria: Our prediction came true and after receiving the status, the Ivanishvili regime deepened its anti-Western policy - the answer to this should be a peaceful protest
Giga Bokeria on Gharibashvili's statement: To say that Russian aggression is the fault of any Georgian government is a betrayal of national interests
Giga Bokeria: Glorification of Stalin and his empire, not unequivocally evil, is an integral part of the propaganda of our enemy, Putin's Russia
