ALT “We accurately and faithfully quoted Mr. Razmadze, who spoke with The Times in a 90-minute interview in Gori’s City Hall. Attacking the credibility of our reporter is a pressure tactic to distract from the truth and undermine independent journalism.” - A spokesperson for The New York Times
In a recently published New York Times article, Davit Razmadze, Georgian Dream chairman of the Gori Municipal Assembly, is quoted as blaming former President Mikheil Saakashvili for the August 2008 Russo-Georgian War and saying that Russians “came here as peacekeepers.” As the piece fueled public backlash, Razmadze denied the quotes.

Georgia cannot join the EU until its government changes its authoritarian course.
The European Parliament stands with the Georgian people.
Parliament does not recognise Georgia’s current government and says its EU path is effectively suspended until fair elections happen.

I was grateful to ask FM Shibani in February to reverse the Assad regime’s wrongful decision and have Syria recognize South Ossetia and Abkhazia as the sovereign territory of the country of Georgia. This simple step would show deep strength and commitment to Syria’s new path.

The MEGOBARI Act has passed the House and all enablers of the America-hating Ivanishvili mafia cabal should be put on notice! Support free and fair elections or face the consequences

#Georgia: since Sunday, 10 journalists have been physically or verbally attacked while covering protests. 2 journalists from @TvPirveli and @OnGeLive were injured. RSF calls on the @MIAofGeorgia to end this violence. rsf.org/en/georgia-violence-…

We strongly condemn the violence against peaceful Georgian citizens, protesters, journalists, and opposition figures, including former Georgian Prime Minister Gakharia. This is another example of Georgian Dream’s oppressive tactics, which will leave the country isolated.

Just spoke on the phone with 🇬🇪 President @Zourabichvili_S.
Expressed my deep concern about Georgia’s democratic backslide. Georgia risks to repeat Belarus‘ scenario. 🇱🇹 strongly supports EP resolution on holding democratic elections in Georgia.
Lithuania stands firmly with the Georgian people on their path to the 🇪🇺. Suspending 🇪🇺 accession talks goes against their will and plays into Russia’s hands.

Today, 🇪🇺 Ambassador hosted President @Zourabichvili_S with all Ambassadors of EU Member States. Her work in defending 🇬🇪Georgia's democratic & European aspirations is crucial. EU will consider additional measures at @EUCouncil meetings in Brussels next week.

#Georgia is on the agenda of the Foreign Affairs Council.
The EU stands ready to support the Georgian people on their path towards the EU. However, it is seriously concerned about the course of action Georgia’s government has taken, which runs counter to EU values & principles.

In recent years, the people of Georgia have flooded the streets, standing up against police brutality and the brutal crackdown on peaceful protests. They are determined to pursue a democratic future, yet their government is blocking that path. Instead of moving towards democracy, the government is adopting Russian-style laws that curtail freedom.
On October 26, Georgia held its parliamentary elections. The ruling party claims victory, but the civil society of Georgia, including election observers, has clearly stated that the results do not reflect the true will of the people. Widespread violations were reported, both before and during election day.
I stand with the people of Georgia in their call for a full investigation and for new, truly free and fair elections.
The world must pay attention. The people of Georgia deserve to have their voices heard. They deserve the chance to choose their future. This is not just their fight; it is the fight of every person who believes in freedom, equality, and justice. And we must stand with them.

Yesterday, Moldovans took a crucial step forward on our European path. But the fight for democracy in Moldova—and across our region—continues.
To the people of Georgia: I admire your resilience and determination to build a free, European future. Stand strong—Moldova is with you.
