Pridon Sakvarelidze met with interns and practitioners and spoke about his personal professional experience and his activity in the Parliament, as well as the Committee activity and the duties and rights thereof. He in details overviewed the legislative process. Interns and practitioners asked about ongoing processes on Abkhazia territory in response to which, P. Sakvarelidze noted that in view to restore trust, various events shall be undertaken. Economic development and attention to Abkhazian people is the way allowing healing of the wounds of war.

He spoke about the campaign, aiming at extirpation of Georgian language on Abkhazian territory. As he stated, restriction of education in natural language is violation of fundamental human rights. This campaign cannot result in positive outcomes as language extirpation is a hard process and Georgian language cannot be extinct.
