Georgian opposition keeps its promise
Last night Georgian pro-opposition figures held protest, closing temporarily one of the country's mainline railroads. Earlier, thousands of people in Tbilisi held meeting in which opposition promised to resort to more radical methods for pushing President Saakashvili out of office. Tuesday evening, the opposition decided to block the railway mainline near Borzhomi station. They took such decision after visiting the Georgian Patriarch who called on them to start dialogue for avoiding further exacerbations. Thereafter, pro-opposition figures headed to government building. In a meeting attended by over 70 thousand people, they declared of their intention to block railroads, highways, and probably, the way to the airport.
