09.03.10 16:25
`Georgia will never become a minor annex of any other country,` Georgian president announced at the presentation of the rehabilitated Georgian -Turkish school in Batumi today.
President said Georgia was on its new road of development and nobody would succeed in returning the country to its dark past.
`Georgia had always had people, who did not love their homeland. There are people in the country today, whose criticism of the government has grown into the hatred of the government and the hatred of the government finally grew into the hatred of the country. I would like to tell then, that we have much wider prospect of development, than they can even imagine. Our country has made its choice - we will be free and powerful without Russia. We will never be a minor addition of anybody,` President said.
Saakashvili hailed the bravery of Georgian emigrants in Russia. He said despite their large number, the Russian government failed to win them over.
`Over 400,000 Georgian nationals live in Russia today and this is an elitist part of our society. They failed to find and use any successful Georgian against their homeland. We are yet far from our final goal, but we are standing on this road and nobody will be able to drag us back into the dark past,` Saakashvili said.
