Konstantine (Koko) Gamsakhurdia, deceased President Zviad Gamsakhurdia\'s son by his first marriage, has returned to Tbilisi from his home in Geneva. Gamsakhurdia, who heads the Tavisupleba (Freedom) movement, criticized Georgia\'s new leadership for its alleged incompetence, failure to restore the country\'s territorial integrity, and repeated amendments to the constitution that have given the president virtually unlimited power while weakening the role of the parliament. He said he considers it his duty to assume the role of leader of the opposition.The Central Asia-Caucasus Analyst is a biweekly publication of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute & Silk Road Studies Program, a Joint Transatlantic Research and Policy Center affiliated with the American Foreign Policy Council, Washington DC., and the Institute for Security and Development Policy, Stockholm.
