- Roman Gitsiridze, before being kicked out of the session by Okhanashvili, only managed to ask this one question.And the Euro-optimist, together with the rest of the "optimists", found himself outside the door of the meeting hall.Gotsiridze had to rhetorically ask the remaining questions and condemn the unworthy actions of the leader of the session, along with other expelled people (Dekanoidze, Khabeishvili, Vashadze, Manjgaladze...).Gotsiridze would have managed to ask all the questions if he had not given a long introduction.
