“In the Kremlin, we are dealing with surgeons and pharmacists”
- The authorities of Russia clearly stated: the current regime in Georgia, with you personally, they will not be the case. It turns out that the year 2013 (year end presidential term of Mikhail Saakashvili) in the Russo-Georgian relations, nothing will change?

- First, who told them that the current leadership of Georgia will last only until 2013? Yes, I will not run for president. But it does not mean that that ideology, which I represent, there will be no more a priority for the Georgian population. It would not be Saakashvili, will be someone else. But the rate will be the same. Secondly, one must understand that a person, of course, can have value, but this ideology has been established, this generation already exists and does not change. We were and rallies, and demonstrations, but the popularity of my course have never enjoyed the support of less than 50% of the population. And now it is 70% or more. This country clearly consolidated. Our policy of liberal economy, democracy, free and open society will only grow stronger.
