Georgian Dream’s decision to suspend EU accession is a betrayal of the Georgian constitution. We condemn excessive force used against Georgians exercising their freedom to protest and have suspended our Strategic Partnership with Georgia.

@TeimurazLezhava ბატონო ელჩო, მიუხედავად თქვენი უდიდესი ღვაწლისა, რასაც საქართველოსთვის ეწევით იაპონიაში, დღეს მაინც იმ სისტემის ნაწილი ბრძანდებით, რომელიც საქართველოს რუსეთისკენ მიაქანებს. გთხოვთ მხარი დაუჭიროთ გადამდგარ კოლეგებს და თავადაც გადადგეთ თანამდებობიდან

Do you remember GD's pre-election banners with Ukraine's wartime photos? Guess where this photo has been taken. Yes, it's the centre of Tbilisi, Kala district. Looks like a war to me - by the government and the opposition against their own people. It's their mutual responsibility

Just spoke to President @Zourabichvili_S

The situation following the elections remains concerning.

If Georgia wants to keep a strategic orientation towards the EU, we need concrete actions from the leadership.

Our enlargement report shows the way.

When the ruling party in Georgia claimed that an opposition leader Khazaradze was Armenian as a reason not to vote for him, it went unreported in the Armenian media. However, when President Zurabishvili—who consistently advocates for Armenia and genuinely contributes its European future—mentioned that a scheme, commonly known in Georgia as “Armenian carousels,” had been used widely by Russia in Armenia for years, it sparked controversy and was turned against her.

Also, as someone who represents the Armenian community platform of Georgia that has done the most to combat Armenophobia in Georgia over the past decade, I can assert that “Armenian carousel” is not derogatory language against Armenians. However, remarks by a journalist backed by the ruling pro-Russian party saying to Khazaradze, “You are ashamed of your Armenian origin; that’s why you hide it” and “You rob (as a founder of the TBC Bank) Georgians because you are Armenian” clearly are. You’re on the wrong side of history, folks.

During Viktor Orban's welcoming ceremony in the Georgian gov't administration yard, a Hungarian citizen residing in Georgia @LaszloRobMezes staged a protest 👇

@Chahuapa @sopjap @Rguaraka Do you mean the demonstration that had half of tbilisi full of busses?

[Giorgi Sanikidze @gioo_sanny]

@sopjap They said their count matched CEC's official results, no? I thought they declined to announce exact numbers

@sopjap Although I agree that the chaos is caused by people not doing their jobs

[Giorgi Sanikidze @gioo_sanny]

@sopjap I'm no ISFED advocate; it just doesn't add up to expect someone to play along the rules in this chaos

[Peter Fischer @Diplo_Peter]

A message of clarification to Georgian friends: When @PM_ViktorOrban arrives in #Tbilisi, he will speak for the Hungarian government, NOT on behalf of the European Union.
For 🇪🇺 position, please refer to @CharlesMichel, @eucopresident & @JosepBorrellF.
For 🇩🇪 position, stay here.

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

The picture emerging from Georgia is clear - yesterday's election has been stolen by Putin's puppet government in Tbilisi.

I back the people of Georgia as they stand up for their freedom, their rights and their future.

[Giorgi Sanikidze @gioo_sanny]

@KKvara77__ @hantyumisfoot No offence, but that's delusional

[Giorgi Sanikidze @gioo_sanny]

@KKvara77__ The absolute majority of the population is in utter chaos. It needs strong leadership to organize and understand itself. There are no leaders, leave alone strong ones. It has always been this way in Georgia

[George Melashvili 🇬🇪🇺🇦 @geomel_ge]

Final preparations for @EGI_cso ‘s concluding event of the Get Out the Vote campaign in full swing! (And yes, the ladder was high enough) 😄

This is the quality of the new Avlabari metro vestibular. Held together by misaligned tiny screws. Like the GD itself
