Georgia's new government will not insist on its demand for President
Mikheil Saakashvili's resignation in January, according to the
Russian Vzglyad.
Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili was quoted as telling a news
conference that in case his Georgian Dream coalition takes up
impeaching the president, the world community will think of the
process as something strange.
"It is necessary to maintain the country's reputation," he said,
adding that the plan to hold new polls in October conflicts with
a constitutional provision to elect a president for five years
(Saakashvili was elected in January 2008).
Meantime, the Georgian premier did not rule out the possibility that
the constitutional requirement restricting the president's authorities
may be enforced ahead of time (before the 2013 election).
Ivanishvili thinks MP Vakhtang Khmaladze to be the best candidate
of presidency.
