The “velvet” leader of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, is reported to
sell out one of the most favorite residents of former Georgian
president Eduard Shevardnadze, Krtsansk compound, to the Americans.
Interfax agency informedthat Krtsansk with 44 hectares and 37
additional compounds was sold to an American Basel Group for $15
million. President Saakashvili is going to build a new presidential
residence in largely Armenian-populated Havlabar borough of Tbilisi.
Shevardnadze’s present-day cottage, which is part of the compound, was
not included in the privatized territory, which means that the former
Georgian leader will not move to another place.
