Bidzina Ivanishvili

I have always lived according to my conscience, and my past is clean.

Our policy is European and Euro-Atlantic integration. There is no substitute for NATO.

There is a real and evident problem of democracy in Georgia, and this was the core reason of my entrance into politics. We have no rule of law. It's absolutely absent.

In Georgia, people had already understood that communism couldn't survive, and I came to the institute in Moscow, and people still believed in it. They were completely different people, and I found it very difficult psychologically.

There are eight different breeds of peacock. I have them all.

My main capital isn't the money. I respect myself; I respect my country.

With respect to Euro-Atlantic integration, we have to realize that we need to normalize the relationships with our neighbors, and especially with Russia.

I may not be a politician, but I will fight to the end of my life for what I believe in.

If you come to Georgia, you can open up a company in a day. You yourself can come tomorrow and establish a company in a day, and you're not halted by paperwork.

All the therapists would tell me was that I was the only healthy person they knew.

I get no pleasure from politics; it's not in my character.

Restoration of friendship with Russia, our biggest neighbor, is necessary for our peace and economy.
