/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Parliament of Georgia calls to start impeachment
proceedings of the President Mikheil Saakashvili . The representative
of the Republican Party, a member of the "Strong Georgia" opposition
faction Carlo Kopaliani told a press conference in Tbilisi, that the
report of the EU commission, acknowledging Saakashvili to be guilty
for the war in South Ossetia, enables to start such a procedure.
As GeorgiaTimes says, according to the deputy, the report showed that
"the emperor is naked, and those who are trying to cover up him -
are fig leaves." Carlo Kopaliani called on Saakashvili to resign
voluntarily.
In accordance with law, a document on the impeachment must be signed
by at least a third of the 150 MPs. Only in this case the document is
then passed to the Supreme and Constitutional Courts of Georgia. A day
before the movement of Levan Gachechiladze "Protect Georgia" launched a
campaign to" alienate Georgia from the President Mikheil Saakashvili".
The report of the EU commission acknowledged that the Georgian
authorities are guilty of unleashing of active hostilities, the massive
large-scale military operation in Tskhinvali and the application of
prohibited weapons. Furthermore, Saakashvili's regime was accused of
shooting and destruction of non-military objects and military attack
on the UN peacekeeping mission.
Last week, the opposition, which has long conducted an open war
with the president, demanded to recognize Mikheil Saakashvili to be
a war criminal and bring him before a tribunal. As the Labor Party
of Georgia stated, if Saakashvili is not disarmed on time, he would
endanger the entire region.
The party also announced its intention to apply to the official
Brussels and Washington to immediately start an investigation over
the Georgian leader's actions. Earlier, the Labor Party demanded that
Saakashvili resigned himself. The Conservative Party raised the issue
of starting p he president and impeachment.
Mikheil Saakashvili has repeatedly said that he is not going to resign
before expiration of his term in 2013. In regard to the report of the
EU Commission, the president first called it "a diplomatic victory
of Georgia," and then accused the commission of authority abuse. As
the leader of Georgia said "one does not need know much to give a
true assessment of the other country's heavily-armed troops invasion,
the country, which threatened you for many years."
