This is a special edition of Talk Georgia, which airs every Sunday at 22:00, where Nodar Karshiladze and I answer audience questions about Georgian and regional politics.

Zoya

Okruashvili, Japaridze, Melia—tomorrow it could be Gvaramia. How far will Ivanishvili go, and what should the response be? In the past, something like this would have shaken the country, but now it feels like nothing is happening.

Nika

Bidzina’s people and GD veterans are slowly leaving, and Kobakhidze’s men are taking over. Is Kobakhidze now the real power?

Eka

First, Secretary Rubio criticizes Georgian Dream, then Trump congratulates Kavelashvili, after that Bidzina snubs the ambassador, now a U.S. senator is engaged with Kobakhidze. Can you explain what’s going on? If they don’t recognize the GD government, why meet them?

Nia

What do the Polish and French embassy warnings really mean? Should we expect the same treatment entering their countries?

Soso

Does your podcast only cover politics? Can you say a few words about football? The Champions League final is on Saturday—do you think Kvara will lift the trophy?
