In this episode of Talk Georgia Queston Time Nodar Kharshiladze and I will be answering your questions on Georgian and international politics:
Is Kavelashvili’s offer of pardons for election participation a political maneuver? and can the unity of eight opposition parties around a boycott gain traction without Lelo and Gakharia?
What message does Kobakhidze’s absence from the U.S. reception and the Deputy FM’s condolences to the Iranian Embassy send? Should we expect any response from Israel or the U.S.?

What’s going on between Russia and Azerbaijan, how does the Ankara-Baku-Yerevan-Brussels mix play into it, and where does Georgia fit in all of this?
