GEORGIAN PRESIDENT WARNS OF \'FOREIGN CONSPIRACY\'

Published in News Digest

By empty (4/14/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Meeting on 14 April with the staff of the Georgian Prosecutor-General\'s Office, Mikheil Saakashvili claimed that unnamed circles abroad are planning to destabilize Georgia and thereby demonstrate to the international community that it is a failed state. Saakashvili said those unnamed persons plan to transfer to Georgia huge sums of money to be paid to Georgian politicians they hope to co-opt. Saakashvili also commented that some of his former comrades in arms who \"fought on the barricades\" now erroneously consider themselves immune to prosecution, and he warned that they will nonetheless be brought to account for unspecified crimes.
