According to him, the ongoing changes in the world have reached a logical conclusion: today, a “ring of fire” is forming, extending from Ukraine to the Middle East. In his assessment, the global economy faces unprecedented pressure, and once-close allies are now treating each other as adversaries.“In this difficult environment, we cannot remain passive observers. Diplomacy is our only weapon in the international arena. Therefore, yes, when the former president forced the state to abandon this only weapon by refusing to appoint ambassadors, we must urgently correct this mistake and allow Georgian diplomats to effectively protect Georgia’s interests. We act in Georgia’s national interests. This is the only star by which alignment will lead us to safety. Any other target, any other star could cost our country dearly,” Makhashvili declared.According to him, in the current global chaos, Georgia is not waiting for opportunities but creating them itself.As the committee chairperson noted, each foreign visit by Georgia’s Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and members of the government and parliament creates new opportunities and initiates the implementation of new beneficial ideas or major projects.“But let’s not deceive ourselves – some forces are trying to drag Georgia into chaos. These forces haven’t disappeared anywhere. Moreover, they are now building a comfortable nest on the European continent, so they can continue to lecture us while hiding behind European institutions.Encouraged by this, the opposition is ready to sacrifice everything to seize power, caring for neither Europe, nor America, and most regrettably, nor Georgia’s national interests. None of these are valuable to them. Only their narrow political interests are valuable, and for this, they will curse America if necessary, the European Union too, and throw in Georgia’s future along with it.One day they deify the American ambassador, the next day they bury the entire embassy. They’ve done it, they’re doing it, and they will continue to do it,” Makhashvili stated.According to him, peace is not a gift but a responsibility. In this regard, the government has repeatedly proven to the population that they can rely on the Georgian Dream’s administration and its responsible policies, even in the most difficult times.“While the opposition, together with their internal and external accomplices, drags the country toward the abyss, we will responsibly continue the country’s development and care for the population,” Levan Makhashvili declared.

“At a time of crisis in Georgia, while I am engaged in legal proceedings in London and Stockholm against Ivanishvili and his government, Nika Gvaramia (Co-Chairman of political party “Ahali”) through a deliberate campaign, is forcing me to issue public responses.The suspension of Mtavari Arkhi’s broadcasting was carried out under Gvaramia’s orders and through an unlawful decision by the channel’s current General Director, falsely claiming that I ordered the shutdown, to discredit me.Prior to the shutdown and statement, Mtavari Arkhi proposed paying an initial amount of 1 million on the condition that my appointed director, Giorgi Kurdadze, would declare to the National Bank of Georgia and the General Prosecutor’s Office that he no longer believed illegal activities occurred at the channel. Additionally, Kurdadze was being pressured to sign unlawful documents they had prepared. They threatened a new smear campaign against me if he refused.As the founder, my demand is clear: the ongoing illegal financial operations, fraud, and money laundering at Mtavari Arkhi must cease immediately. The General Director Giorgi Gabunia, must be replaced. Rather than Giorgi Gabunia, a professional, credible individual—trustworthy to the public—should be appointed. Nika Gvaramia’s proposal to appoint his wife, Sopho Liluashvili, is not acceptable for me.Mtavari Arkhi must continue broadcasting lawfully and without obstruction. The unlawful shutdown, ordered by Nika Gvaramia, who acts as the channel’s informal manager, and carried out in violation of the law and the channel’s statute, will be addressed by my legal team of British and American attorneys”, - the statement reads.
