With the upcoming mass opposition rally in Georgia, activists are doing their best to give President Saakashvili the jitters. Outside his residence on Thursday night the message ‘Stop, Misha’ was written in flames.
Once Saakashvili has resigned, will Georgia gain real democracy? Or will we just have a situation like that in Armenia, Azerbaydshan, or Turkmenistan? Since I prefered democracy all my life, I would wish Russia and the European Union to monitor free and equal elections in Georgia, which I think are to be expected soon! I hope all will see democracy in Georgia as a chance and not as a threat!
