The medicine “Givinostat” for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy will be in Tbilisi at the beginning of next week – Sarjveladze

According to the Minister of Health of Georgia the medicine “Givinostat” - for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy - will be in Tbilisi at the beginning of next week.
Difference between the stateless UNM-agents and the state-minded government is visible in statements like this - “Abkhazians detest us and nothing can be done about it” - we believe that reconciliation is possible - Kirtskhalia

Irakli Kirtskhalia, Chairman of the Georgian Dream parliamentary faction said the contrast between the “rootless UNM agent network” and a state-minded government was clearly reflected in their positions on Georgian-Abkhaz relations.
They need a victim. They need someone in prison just to maintain the illusion of their own struggle on the outside. That is why their outcry - “Freedom to prisoners!” - is actually taking on the exact opposite meaning – Papuashvili

A revolution needs a victim, a defeated revolution, even more so. And those who were the easiest to instigate and exploit ended up precisely in this role of the victim. Speaker of the Georgian Parliament writes on his Facebook page.
