Quotes
[edit]- I want to tell everyone that no one will wait for the Maidan in Georgia. I want to remind you what the results of the Maidan were like for Ukraine. Then the Ukrainian authorities were actually appointed from the outside, first once, then twice, and as a result, the one who appointed the authorities from the outside did not take responsibility for the events that unfolded in Ukraine in the future. Until 2013, Ukraine was a state that had territorial integrity, with an economy of 2200 billion, and today the country has collapsed, the country's economy has shrunk qualitatively over so many years, 20% of the country's territories are occupied, tens of thousands of people have died, and who will take responsibility for this? No one is responsible for this. Accordingly, most of all, we must protect the country's independence, because no one else will take responsibility for protecting Georgia's interests. Best of all, the example of Ukraine showed us this, so we must take care of the independence of our country, the state.
