The session was opened by Archil Talakvadze.
"Parliament is the main political mechanism, where important issues must be debated, arguments must be resolved and decisions made. Naturally, the peaceful protest will be protected. But if anyone tries to violate the law or block the administrative buildings the state will have a proper reaction. Parliament is ready to discuss the main political issues. We should sit down and talk about certain things, including the 2020 elections", the Chairperson of the Parliament said.
Some of the Georgian Dream lawmakers have already arrived at the Parliament. Lawmakers entered the building from one of the free entrances. According to the Members of the Majority there should be a constitutional order in the country so that the work of state institutions is not interrupted.
