/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgian opposition may really block border
checkpoints in case Mikheil Saakashvili fails to meet their demand. But
the opposition does not yet take any step in that direction, Georgian
political scientist and project manager of Development and Cooperation
Centre Paata Zakereishvili told a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent. "After
yesterday’s developments, the Georgian opposition decided to delay
realization of such plans. I think the opposition leaders will give
up the idea, since blocked checkpoints will cause harm to neighboring
states," he stressed.
Georgian opposition leader Gubaz Sanikidzde recently declared of
pro-opposition activists’ intention to block all border checkpoints
in case of President Sahakashvili’s failure to meet their demand of
resigning from post till May 11. "We apologize to Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Turkey and other countries that will not have a transit route via
Georgia," Mr. Sanikidze told journalists in a Monday meeting near
Tbilisi Parliament House.
