My 2 tetri on Saakashvili situation, only because you asked.

Thread

There is a lot of outrage against the government mishandling the situation, some of it I agree with, some I don’t. Some of it is malicious, some is poor, some is fair, but everyone will be outraged anyway 1/10 It appears that everyone is responsible for Saakashvili’s imprisonment, hunger strike, deteriorating health condition except the man himself.Its like whatever he does is ok,because the rest of the country has to deal with the consequences of his actions. What is he? a child? 2/10

Personal views on GD v opposition stand-off.

4 months ago, when opposition decided to boycott the election results I feared we will make things worse by fighting for technicalities and purity of elections. Things are worse.

I tweeted this at the time How did we end up having Irakli Garibashvili, the angriest and spikiest of GD options, a pretty strong conservative as Prime Minister (again!) and Nika Melia leader of largest opposition party?

Nika. Melia. Really?

🇦🇲My thoughts on situation in Armenia. The clear winner is Russia, obviously Azerbaijan will take this win in the short term – great for the spirits in the country, for Aliyev himself, but in the long run Russian military presence is a big problem.

#Armenia #NagornoKarabakh I know not everyone will feel this way and it may be easier for me to say than for many Armenians. I’ve never lived in Armenia, but I consider myself part of Armenian diaspora, even if I’m not active in any diaspora community life. I’m not an expert. /2

Tbilisi November 8 protests thread.

Its almost like we are running out of calendar days in November. So many of them are associated with riots, revolution, police brutality, crowd dispersing. #Gvote2020 #Gvote Right..so I am not a big fan of the boycott of parliament and subsequent demonstrations. But I guess if you choose to boycott, it doesn't hurt to couple that with an impressive rally to get message across. 2 conditions: COVID19 guidelines; Your goal is negotiations

Thread on #gVote results

I voted for an opposition party who are refusing to recognize the results and are asking for early elections.

I think parties should recognize the results, consolidate their powers on winning the run offs in majoritarian districts and get on with it /1 I am fully aware campaign funding of GD is totally out of control and disproportionate, fully aware they use admin resources in run up to the elections and to lesser degree on the day. But I also recognize this is generally normal standard of elections in Georgia. /2
