“SAAKASHVILI COMMITTED A POLITICAL SUICIDE”

Politics

“Saakashvili committed a political suicide by using force on the peaceful demonstrators and completely destroyed his distorted image of a democratic leader”, said David Shahnazaryan in the interview with “A1+”. He strictly condemned the incidents in Georgia.

“It is an unprecedented phenomenon - to close down two TV stations, imposed emergency in the country, to ban dissemination of information and make it the authorities’ monopoly is nonsense. He committed a suicide indeed”. David Shahnazaryan considers that Saakashvili should have started a dialogue and shown flexibility “while he behaved as a rude authoritarian leader”. Similar developments of happenings were predicted by David Shahnazaryan when Saakashvili came to power. “When he came to power I said to the Armenian and Georgian mass media that despite democrats came to power, the democracy had not won in Georgia”.

In Mr Shahnazaryan excluded that the opposition was accused of allegedly being led by secret Russian services: “I know some of opposition leader, they are my friends, they are Georgia’s decent, honest citizens, they are true democrats and I exclude that they may be headed by foreign powers”.

Even the US State Department excluded this version. David Shahnazaryan explained Saakashvili’s accusations of foreign political powers: “Saakashvily tries to use anti-Russian policy to solve the inner problems in the country”.

According to David Shahnazaryan, the incidents in Georgia will negatively reflect on the region. “It may be a very bad precedent for us, since it gives Kocharyan an opportunity to say that if democrat Saakashvili uses force, then I can also do the same. It may cause additional reigning of the RA authorities”. The incidents in Georgia promise that elections in Georgia may not be democratic, legal, free and fair.

Anyway, David Shahnazaryan ensures that a political society is being formed in Georgia: “But on the other hand there is a serious danger that Georgia may become the country of permanent revolution”.
