Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on Wednesday said if the ruling Georgian Dream party Chair Irakli Kobakhidze became the new Prime Minister following the exit of Irakli Garibashvili from the position this week, the development would mark a “historic moment for Georgian democracy” by symbolising the country's switch to the parliamentary republic model in having a PM selected from the lawmaking body.
Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on Monday said he anticipated a “productive exchange” with domestic opposition and members of the civil sector on the work for the nine conditions outlined by the European Commission in November for opening the European Union accession talks with Tbilisi after the latter’s obtaining the bloc’s candidacy in December.
"I sense the organisations behind this assessment harbour resentment towards the Georgian authorities, leading them to unfairly criticise Georgia. This assessment lacks credibility. Comparing Georgia unfavourably to Ukraine and Moldova is totally unfounded”, Papuashvili said.
