“Gelbakhiani told Kodua that on January 6th he plans together with other people to provoke public disorder in Tbilisi and throughout Georgia. During public disorders Gelbakhiani will ask Kodua to arrest the Minister of Internal Affairs. I quote the words of Gelbakhiani: “We shall spend much money to bring many people out in the streets of many towns of Georgia, we shall make a good performance for people and when the situation goes beyond control, we shall take the power in our hands.” Gelbakhiani offers political guarantees to Kodua if he accepts the plan.
