NINO BURJANADZE REGRETS FOR SAAKASHVILI'S STATEMENTS
The President of `United Georgia' democratic movement party Nino
Burjanadze gave an exclusive interview to Panorama.am and evaluated
the statement made by the President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili
`not accurate and silly' regarding the economy of Armenia. It is
important to remind that the President of Georgia has announced on 7
March that `the economy of Armenia is in crisis, because it depends on
Russia.'
-How do You evaluate Mikheil Saakashvili's recent statement that the
economy of Armenia is in crisis because it depends on Russian economy?
How accurate is this statement made by the President?
-The President of my country has made an inaccurate and wrong
statement regarding not only the neighbor country but a relative
country also. A normal president should not make such announcements
regarding the economy of the neighbor countries. I think that Mikheil
Saakashvili's statements are critically inaccurate and silly ones. But
to tell the truth we have got used to Saakashvili's statements
regarding both our country and other countries. Now, I just can
express some sort of regret for those statements.
-Two reporters' group from Georgian TV stations are currently in
Armenia. Their mission is to `collect some materials' to confirm the
model of the President that `neighbors live in worse conditions during
the crisis than the Georgians.' What do you think in this regard?
-I am not informed about it, I don't know. If it is correct then it is
the following mistake. I hope that irrespective of the President's
statements, the authorities of Georgia should pay much attention on
the economy of Georgia and think how to recover it. The situation got
worse after the August war. In this regard, it would be better our
President to think of our economy than the one of the neighbor
country. I am sure that the economic situation of Georgia will get
worse as the authorities, as well as the President don't manage to
govern. And the political situation in our country is wound up. I
guess that until our President did not manage to cut our relations
with neighbor countries we should make him to send in his resignation.
-How do You evaluate the possibilities of Georgian opposition?
-I am sure that the opposition will win as Georgian people have
negative attitudes about Mikheil Saakashvili. Currently everybody
feels the aftermaths of August events, everybody sees not adequate
steps and statements made by the President, especially the one
regarding Armenia. I am sure that we'll reach the resignation of the
President constitutionally and we'll sign special presidential
elections.
