  • Talk Georgia Question Time with Giorgi Rukhadze and Nodar Kharshiladze. Episode 8. Trailer

    TOMORROW at 22:00 on Talk Georgia Nodar Kharshiladze and I will be answering your questions on Georgian and international politics: Here’s a preview of what’s coming up:

    Is Kavelashvili’s offer of pardons for election participation a political maneuver? and can the unity of eight opposition parties around a boycott gain traction without Lelo and Gakharia?

    What message does Kobakhidze’s absence from the U.S. reception and the Deputy FM’s condolences to the Iranian Embassy send? Should we expect any response from Israel or the U.S.?

    Could Kobakhidze’s urgent meeting with business leaders be connected with possible UK–EU sanctions that seem on the way?

    What’s going on between Russia and Azerbaijan, how does the Ankara-Baku-Yerevan-Brussels mix play into it, and where does Georgia fit in all of this?

  • Talk Georgia Question Time with Giorgi Rukhadze and George Melashvili . Episode 6

    This is a special edition of Talk Georgia Question Time, where George Meladze and I will be answering your questions on Georgian and international politics:

    Here’s a preview of what’s coming up:

    Levan

    Politicians are in jail, activists are in jail, NGOs and independent media are under siege. What’s next—and how should we respond?

    Lena

    The European Parliament passed a strong resolution on Mzia Amaghlobeli and the state of media freedom in Georgia. So why isn’t the EU taking action? Why isn’t it using all its leverage to hold Ivanishvili and his allies accountable?

    Samanta

    There’s an intense debate over whether opposition parties should take part in the upcoming local elections. What’s your view? Why are some parties calling for a boycott while others insist on staying in the race?

    Lika

    In your opinion, how might the Israel–Iran conflict end? Are we currently at risk, and how could this impact us in the future?
