Shevardnadze advises Saakashvili to resign
Former Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze advised the current
president Mikheil Saakashvili to resign. According to him, there is no
point for Saakashvili to stay in office because he is losing
influence in the country and in its environment.
"What is the President, when his environment does not support him. But
the main thing is that the Georgian people will not recognize
Saakashvili as their president, and if he has a conscience, after all
this, he should resign," said Shevardnadze in an interview with the
Georgian newspaper "Asaval Dasavali", cited by "Interfax-Ukraine".
Shevardnadze also warned that Saakashvili "is particularly dangerous,
because all his actions are motivated by hatred of the incumbent
prime-minister Ivanishvili."
