    Saakashvili Personally Assumes PM Duties

    Civil Georgia (Tbilisi)
    2005-02-03

    Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said on February 3 that he will
    assume the Prime Minister's responsibilities in the wake of the death of
    Zurab Zhvania early on Thursday.

    `I, as the President of Georgia, will assume the leadership of the
    executive authorities. I instruct the members of the government to
    return to their work places and work in a usual regime. I, as the
    Commander in Chief , instruct the law enforcement agencies and the army
    to continue performing their functions,' the President said after
    visiting the newly built Holly Trinity Cathedral in Tbilisi on February 3.

    `It is very important to maintain order and discipline in the country. I
    want to warn everybody that all those who violate order and discipline
    will be answerable before the law. We fully control the situation, we
    are a strong state, we are strong nation and we will manage to settle
    the problems,' President Saakashvili added.
