"Ivanishvili has moved to the bargaining stage... he must realize that the game is lost and he must accept defeat"

Ivanishvili has moved to the bargaining stage... he must understand that the game is lost and he must accept defeat" - Nika Gvaramia, CEO of "Mtavari Channel" writes in an address from cell 212 of Rustavi's 12th penitentiary institution.

He responds to the letter distributed by the oligarch Ivanishvili yesterday, July 27, and writes that "only a rigid and straight-line answer will cut against Ivanishvili's Russian-type bargaining and blackmail".

As expected, Ivanishvili moved to the bargaining stage. It bargains with the West on the geopolitical importance of Georgia and the western future of the country.

Ivanishvili's modus operandi is completely Russian. He always bluffs and behaves immorally when bargaining. He considers any attempt to negotiate or settlement with him as weakness and retreat and becomes even more unrestrained.

Against Ivanishvili's Russian-style trade and blackmail, only a rigid and straight-line response will work. The more aggressive his attack, the clearer and tougher the response should be. He must realize that the game is lost and that he must accept defeat. He should know that no one will bargain with him and no one will give up anything. He must feel that the more he tries to harm the West and Georgia, the more he will be harmed.

P.S. As for joining the sanctions and especially refraining from turning Georgia into a sanction avoiding black hole - setting these demands and fulfilling them is not joining the war, but on the contrary - refusing this demand of joining the war, joining the war on the side of Russia, - writes Nika Gvaramia.
