Do you know why they call it Russian? Because they don’t know what Georgian is, said Mikheil Kavelashvili, one of the leaders of People’s Power, while addressing the opposition at the meeting of the Legal Issues Committee, where the so-called Agents Draft Law is being considered.

“These people do not have a motherland, they have lost it, and that’s why they call the bill Russian. They can’t imagine otherwise, since the EU ambassadors told them so.

They crucified me when I said that the European Union was not my goal. Yes, I think that my goal is the immortality of the Georgian nation and the eternity of Georgia.

For me, the European Union is a way to share things, values that I believed in. You can’t stand Georgian, what does Russian have to do with it? You can’t stand Georgian and that’s why you call the bill Russian. NGOs were sitting here and watching how the United National Movement members were trying to disrupt the session.

You see this wildness as normal. And you call me wild, who does not want the EU”, - said Mikheil Kavelashvili.
