The Presidential Order of Excellence (01 Nov 2011)

Prime Minister of Georgia
Irakli Gharibashvili
Former President of Georgia
Giorgi Margvelashvili
President of Georgia
Salome Zurabishvili
Salome Samadashvili: The goal of summoning Mamuka Khazaradze to the "commission" for the second time is to remove him from politics, Dream is trying to clear the domestic political field for Russia - I appeal to Tsulukiani: summon Ivanishvili!
Salome Samadashvili: The research that the public has seen confirms one thing: the majority of voters are demanding change in the country
Irakli Zarkua to Salome Samadashvili: Salo, what has changed? The CEC is the same, we’re still the ruling party, Irakli Kobakhidze is the Prime Minister – so why are you participating in the local elections? What are you hoping for? Why haven’t you disappeared altogether?
Salome Samadashvili: It is a false argument when colleagues say that if someone participates in the local elections, they will legitimize the government - no one can legitimize it, something that is dead cannot die again
Salome Samadashvili: The Georgian government has supported all the steps that Russia is taking towards the annexation of our occupied territories
Salome Samadashvili: Everyone understands how absurd it is that Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze were the first to be summoned to the so-called commission investigating the governance of the National Movement
Salome Samadashvili on the IDU resolution: This is another important message that today, the best way to help Georgia and the Georgian people is to sanction Bidzina Ivanishvili and his financial infrastructure
Guram Macharashvili: Even if you add Salome Zurabishvili and Paata Burchuladze together, multiply them by Salome Samadashvili, and then add Nika Gvaramia — the total will still be zero
Salome Samadashvili: The invitation of Kobakhidze to the European Union Summit does not mean that anyone has recognized the legitimacy of Ivanishvili's government – I expect that Kobakhidze will not have any serious meetings and will only participate in a formal manner
Salome Samadashvili: They have received a new instruction from their patrons - to selectively expel Western diplomats from Georgia. Russia, previously the Soviet Union, used the same method to expel American and European diplomats from the country
Salome Samadashvili: The illegitimate government tried to deceive people that it has the resources to reset relations with Washington, however, next week the US will approve the MEGOBARI Act and will impose sanctions policy at the legislative level
Salome Samadashvili: What is planned at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - the final purge of personnel loyal to Western policies - should be a lesson for everyone - if you remain silent for a long time, the crocodile will simply eat you later
Salome Samadashvili on Levan Davitashvili’s Visit to the U.S.: “Georgian Dream’s” Statements Do Not Reflect the Essence of the Meeting – The Goal of Our Friendship Is to Overcome the Crisis in a Way That Minimizes Harm to the People, and Economic Cooperation Is One Aspect of That
Representatives of opposition parties are holding a meeting with the OSCE Secretary General, Feridun Sinirlioğlu
Salome Samadashvili: The unanimous approval of the 'Megobari Act' is another major defeat for the Russian regime on the foreign front - I would call this act the dismantling act of Ivanishvili’s Russian regime
Archil Gorduladze: The oppositionists are “unhappy, because the fate of the agent is very unhappy” - now they are putting on a show that they are in conflict with each other, but as soon as the task comes to them, they will unite
Salome Samadashvili: There are no negotiations between Georgian Dream and the US - I have reliable information that no one is talking to Ivanishvili, despite the fact that he is spending a lot of money
Salome Samadashvili: Georgia may not have rich natural resources, but we have transit opportunities, which could interest the U.S. and shift strategic relations
Oleksii Reznikov - Russia, in reality, is a paper tiger
A Korean tamada: Opening of the Korean Embassy in Tbilisi
Israeli Ambassador to Georgia - Our strategy is not to have Hamas controlling the Gaza Strip - Unfortunately, the UN cooperates with Hamas, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch work in favor of Hamas
