Former Ajarian leader Aslan Abashidze turned 67 on Wednesday, and a group of his supporters marked the day by hanging posters marked with his picture and the slogan \"I will be back\" in Batumi.

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili restored control over Ajaria in May 2004, and introduced direct presidential control. Ajarian leader Abashidze then left the republic without officially surrendering his authority. (Interfax)
