    GEORGIAN COALITION CANCELS DEMAND FOR SAAKASHVILI'S RESIGNATION NEXT MONTH

    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.
