“It is very easy to trigger splitting and confrontation. It is very easy to speak with ultimatums and take the position as if you are not interested in the opinions of others. To be categorical and reject a dialogue is very easy and does not require much work. But it is difficult to work together, to cooperate, to forget about insults, to share opinions at least partially, to share other’s positions, to accept these positions and to change your position at least partially. We are interested in everybody’s opinions, we are always ready to talk about those issues, which are of special interest among the Georgian people and the Georgian society.
