Leader of the Labor Party Shalva Natelashvili said today he does not recognize the new President of Georgia as legitimate.

“I do not recognize Mikheil Saakashvili as a President of Georgia because he came to power by illegal methods. He will destroy our country,” Shalva Natelashvili said at a news briefing on January 6. 

Shalva Natelashvili denounced the November velvet revolution as illegitimate.

Earlier in December the Labor Party called on the population for boycotting the presidential elections.
