Following Mikheil Kavelashvili’s inauguration, polarization and artificial attempts to divide people and radicalization will end.

I am convinced that Mikheil Kavelashvili will be the President, who will return this significant institution within the Constitutional framework and at the same time will play an important role in the unification of our society and peaceful co-living,” said Bidzina Ivanishvili.
