The President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili arrived in Akhaltsikhe today and opened 90 km natural gas pipeline. He listened to the problems of local population and made a comment on the ongoing political events.

"I understand very well that a great part of those people, who express their protest, do it because of extreme poverty, much more are sitting at home and are in even more hardship. I understand these people very well. Just these people need assistance most of all. I think that instead of fighting for their chairs, politicians should sit together and talk about how we should help our people to get out from hardship. All these chairs will be left behind if the life of our population does not improve. Our unity and firmness is the only way out. Nobody will be able to harm us if we stand together", stated the President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili.
