Archil Talakvadze Accuses David Arakhamia of Orchestrated Campaign Against Georgia
The Vice-Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Archil Talakvadze, spoke about David Arakhamia's position on the public broadcaster. According to Talakvadze, Arakhamia is also part of the group that is orchestrating the entire planned and financed campaign against Georgia.
"It is not excluded that he is also the senior coordinator of the weakened opposition here; we should not exclude that either. However, we are not going to discuss this with the Ukrainian authorities, since Ukraine is in the midst of its heaviest war and is defending its territories and freedom.
Practically the whole world stands to help Ukraine; otherwise, if he's proud of his Georgian origin and Georgian roots, he should at least know that no Georgian has ever won a fight or confrontation with Georgia, and of course, Arakhamia will not succeed either.
Therefore, rather than war, let us once again express our support to the Ukrainian people, wish Ukraine to restore its territorial integrity, and return to peaceful days. We will see the rest very soon. History will establish this balance, and history will evaluate who, what, and how everyone contributed," said Archil Talakvadze.
President Ursula von der Leyen Receives World Peace and Freedom Award, Highlights Georgia's Role in Shaping New Chapter in Europe's History
Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, was honored with the World Peace and Freedom Award in New York. During her acceptance speech, she emphasized that a new chapter in Europe's history is currently unfolding in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and the Western Balkans.
"The history of our union is the history of young and old democracies growing stronger together. This is the story of Germany and Italy reborn after the war. This is the history of Spain, Portugal, and Greece transitioning from dictatorship to democracy.
This is the story of democratic revival after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Today, a new chapter of this history is being written in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and also in the Western Balkans.
This represents the promise of Europe-a united continent where everyone is equal before the law, enjoying freedom and democracy," stated von der Leyen.
