    GEORGIAN LAWMAKERS SET TO IMPEACH SAAKASHVILI

    09:15 ~U 24.06.13

    A lawmaker from the majority coalition in the Georgian parliament,
    Gia Jorjoliani, said on Sunday he planned to start the procedure
    of Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's impeachment this week,
    RIA Novosti reported.

    "I think the reasons for the parliament to start the president's
    impeachment procedure are more than sufficient. As a member of
    parliament, I will start the required procedures on Wednesday. Hope
    that the majority of parliamentarians will support this initiative,"
    Jorjoliani said.

    He said that although Saakashvili is certainly to lose the post in
    October, the impeachment was needed "for the society to gain full
    understanding of how ruinous the actions of this criminal regime were
    for the country."

    Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, whose Georgian Dream coalition
    swept the October 1, 2012, parliamentary elections in Georgia, rode
    to victory on an anti-Saakashvili platform and seemed to capitalize
    on public discontent with the president. During his tenure, a number
    of high-ranking officials from the Saakashvili government were probed
    for suspected corruption and abuse of office.

    However, Ivanishvili said last year that he would not push for the
    president's impeachment.
