TBILISI, DECEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS: Eduard Shevardnadze, ex-president
of Georgia, said Thursday Mikhail Saakashvili is very likely to stir
up escalation of tension in case he loses the January 5 presidential
election.
"If Saakashvili loses the ballot no one knows how he would behave. I
mean he and his allies may instigate public disorders that may lead
to a civic war," the ex-presidnet said to a Russian news agency.
RIA Novosti quoted him as saying that Saakashvili may also win the
election and become a legitimate president, but he added also that
‘Saakashvili’s victory would not be accepted by the opposition which
has a number of very strong guys."
