Opposition Marches to Protest Election Results Print E-mail

Civil Georgia

Thousands of opposition supporters are marching from the Sport Palace toward the Rustaveli Avenue, where a military parade will be held to mark the Independence Day.

We will continue struggle to dismantle this violent government and the parliament. This may be a long-term battle, but it will be accomplished with our victory,” Levan Gachechiladze, co-leader of the nine-party opposition bloc, told supporters at the rally which was held outside the Sport Palace this morning before the march.

Davit Gamkrelidze, the leader of New Rights Party – part of the nine-party bloc – called on all opposition parties to sign a joint memorandum undertaking commitment to boycott the new parliament, which the opposition says illegitimate as it was elected through ballot fraud.

The Labor Party leader, Shalva Natelashvili, whose party also cleared the 5% threshold, told protesters at the rally that his party was joining the memorandum. “We are again together and this unity will help us to put an end to the Saakashvili’s regime,” Natelashvili told the rally.

The Christian-Democratic Party, which has also cleared the 5% threshold, has not yet signed the memorandum.

The protest rally was aired live by the Tbilisi-based Kavkasia TV.

His fifth task is to boost cooperation across the Eurasian space, enhancing Russia's global position by having it lead a new effort towards integrating the states of the former Soviet Union. Speaking before the Duma last Wednesday, Putin said, "Creation of a common economic space is the most important event in post-Soviet space since the collapse of the Soviet Union."

A Quotation

"The belief that security can be obtained by throwing a small state to the wolves is a fatal delusion."
Winston Churchill, The Gathering Storm

"This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense! Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy!"
Winston Churchill, October 29, 1941
