Gachechiladze Hails Diplomats’ ‘Changed Stance’
Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 8 Jun.'09 / 20:24

Levan Gachechiladze, an individual opposition politician and one of the key figures behind ongoing street protests, said on June 8, that he had observed a change in the stance of foreign diplomats accredited in Tbilisi. 

“You know, that two days ago we met with foreign diplomats, whose vision has changed compared to the period prior to May 26,” he said while speaking at a protest rally outside the Parliament.

“They now view [developments in Georgia] more realistically and I want to thank them very much for that. I announce with full responsibility that unlike previously, compassion towards the country and not towards one person is quite obvious on their faces now. They are already interested in Georgia and not in Saakashvili; they are already interested in the future of our country instead of existence of political police in our country. It is quite obvious and it can easily be read from their faces; I felt it and it was felt by all [other opposition leaders], who attended that meeting,” Gachechiladze said.

He then said that planned visit of Philip H. Gordon, a new U.S. assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, was “extremely important.” He said the non-parliamentary opposition leaders would meet with Gordon on June 10.

Opposition plans a rally outside the prosecutor's office and the Interior Ministry on June 9 – marking two months of the street protests.

“There is no presidential regime, no presidential institute; political police rules this country,” Gachechiladze said.
