“As for the work of the Parliament, after the break, the Parliament will definitely continue to work and we will discuss the issue that was on the agenda and make decisions through voting. No one can stop and block the work of the Parliament. Any attempt that may interfere with the work guaranteed by law and the state institution will, of course, be appropriately responded. I ask everyone to remain calm”, – said Talakvadze.
