What matters most to me is that Mr. Ivanishvili was absolutely honest, open in his response to eth questions from society, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia commented on Bidzina Ivanishvili's recent interview.

According to the Head of Government, to him it is of utmost importance that emphasize how difficult it is to govern the country while fully protecting democratic institutions and procedures.

"It was a challenge and duty that we must fulfil. It is easy to govern a country by using instruments available to you unlawfully and violently. It is hard to govern a country in an absolutely democratic and free environment with absolutely free media, freedom of expression protected in every way, with democracy in place, while some perceive storming and blocking the Parliament as the freedom of expression. The goal voiced in this interview is absolutely clear to me, and that is the very direction in which we are working," the Prime Minister said.
