From now on, they will receive more than 500 services in a comfortable environment. This is very important for the district’s residents,” Kobakhidze noted.

Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze stated that it is difficult to congratulate Moldova on its recent elections while the country remains a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).Responding to a question on whether he intends to congratulate Maia Sandu on her electoral victory, Kobakhidze said the ruling party will wait until Moldova leaves the CIS.“As long as Moldova remains a member of the CIS, it will be difficult for us to congratulate. We will wait until Moldova leaves the CIS, and then we will see, we will reconsider the issue of congratulations,” the Prime Minister noted.

Georgian UFC super lightweight champion Merab Dvalishvili has voiced his interest in participating in a UFC event planned to take place at the White House next year.“I want to participate in the event that will be held at the White House next year. Even if my fight is the first in the lineup, I will be happy, because I know that Ilia Topuria, Conor McGregor, and Jon Jones also want to compete there,” Dvalishvili told Media Scrum.The idea of hosting UFC fights at the White House was proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, who envisions the event taking place on July 4, 2026, in celebration of America’s 250th Independence Day anniversary.UFC President Dana White has confirmed the competition will go ahead, describing it as one of the most spectacular sporting shows the organization has ever staged.

“We start on 4 October, we finish on 4 October— this is inevitable, we will definitely win,” said Paata Burchuladze, leader of the Rustaveli Avenue movement.According to him, the event is not a rally but a public meeting, where several issues will be discussed, including the formation of a technical government.“The only question months ago was whether enough people would come. I believe even more people will gather. This is not a rally — this is a national assembly. At the assembly, we will discuss whether the citizens of Georgia want to take power into their own hands, based on the constitution, and reclaim their country. I am sure no one doubts the answer will be yes. From the moment we vote, we become the masters of this country. After that, power must be in the hands of the people,” Burchuladze stated.He emphasized that a temporary technical government should be appointed, composed of professionals and honest individuals, which he said are rare today. According to Burchuladze, this government must oversee the process until new parliamentary elections are held, after which the winning political party will form the ruling government.
