Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mzia Amaghlobeli's arrest
Q: Can you explain why it is wrong for Mzia to be arrested for slapping a police officer?
While no one denies the act was a violation, the disproportionate response and targeting suggest politically motivated actions against her.
Mzia Amaghlobeli's arrest
Q: Do you think this case against Mzia was a targeted attack on Batumelebi and Netgazeti?
Yes, Mzia's arrest is a direct attack on Batumelebi and signals the broader targeting of critical media voices.
Mzia Amaghlobeli's arrest
Q: What do you think Mzia's arrest says about the current state of the media and media freedom in Georgia?
It sets a dangerous precedent for journalists and indicates a regression in media freedom in Georgia.
Ukraine's recognition of the Circassian Genocide
Q: Is there any tension between supporting Circassia and advocating for a Cuban People's Republic?
There is no tension; the connection is historical and cultural, and Ukraine respects both communities without making territorial claims.
Ukraine's recognition of the Circassian Genocide
Q: What kind of steps do you expect the government to take in this regard?
The government should communicate the need for recognition of the genocide internationally and promote awareness.
