It is completely absurd for the UNM, which has seen its own chairmen replaced in a string of scandals over recent years, to lecture another party about internal turbulence - Gvaramia to Bokuchava

Nika Gvaramia, one of the leaders of the Opposition Alliance ["Ahali" party], responds to the statement of Tina Bokuchava, Chairperson of the United National Movement [UNM] on the social media.

"I am glad if you are listening and intend to turn a dysfunctional organism into a genuinely active team. I wish you well in that endeavour.

I will be nothing but pleased if you are allowed to do so, and if the UNM finally stops abusing everyone and everything. You know my position on this, so my goodwill should come as no surprise.

Also, I hope you will take at least some part in the Alliance`s activities, other than just showing up at the stage during rallies and demanding to make a speech. At least something elementary. As for Tamar Baghashvili’s comment regarding my attack on Misha Saakashvili, to put it mildly, it does not correspond to reality and is unfortunate to hear.

P.S. For the UNM, where party Chairs have been changing scandalously for the past several years, to lecture another party about turbulence is, frankly, not to be taken seriously", - writes Nika Gvaramia.

Tina Bokuchava said in the interview with "Formula TV": "I didn`t expect to witness such an attack from Nika Gvaramia on the UNM. I believe this stems from the internal party turbulence within "Ahali" [party] itself; it is precisely those internal difficulties that prompted him to make such a public statement. That is what I attribute this to, because the statement caught me entirely off guard and left me genuinely astonished. As for the UNM and the question of how effective the party is, believe me, if anyone understands what needs to be done to make the UNM an even stronger fighting force, it is me".
