Georgia’s former prime minister, Bidzina Ivanishvili, has launched an analytical TV show called '20/30', on his family-owned GDS TV channel.
According to him, it is necessary "to provide qualified analysis of developments in Georgia."
"If people will not assess the possibilities of the state and will demand more from it, we can get a different type of extreme. I mean that in the last 22 years, we, unfortunately, did not learn from the experience of others - we went through a civil war and the destruction of the country, corruption, and the nine-year reign of Saakashvili's party 'United National Movement'," Interfax cited the former prime minister.
Ivanishvili admitted that the Georgian economy has weakened and the crisis in Ukraine affects it. "But there are no catastrophes and chaos in the economy of Georgia, as some Georgian experts and TV companies try to present. We will try to explain this to people through objective analysis," he said.
