TBILISI, March 18 (RIA Novosti) - The Government of the Future public movement, led by Georgy Maisashvili, has joined the opposition Coordination Council. Standing at its cradle were the Georgian Labor Party, led by Shalva Natelashvili, and the public movement, Forward, Georgia!, with Irakly Batiashvili at the head.
Dominating the Coordinating Council agenda are demands for an extraordinary parliamentary election and a change of government by constitutional ways, reports the Novosti-Georgia news agency.
Government of the Future leaders intend, starting next week, to contact spokesmen of foreign legations in Georgia. Maisashvili, on his part, plans to meet US and European Union countries' ambassadorial officers. Opposition activists will offer their program and stances on contemporary Georgian developments to the diplomats.
Talks are underway between Government of the Future and other opposition parties' spokesmen-in particular, with the New Right, led by David Gamkrelidze, and Konstantin Gamsakhurdia's Liberty party.
The negotiators are not weighing chances to bring opposition forces together but only opportunities to join efforts on particular issues-social among them, point out Government of the Future spokesmen.
RIA Novosti , Kremlin controlled press agency, that is all about. Georgia is an ally of the US and they want to discredit them.
You can't, but you'll try to run a propaganda piece because Saakashvili is first a stooge for Soros and second for the EU.
And the Georgian Labor party!?
Why do I even bother?

And we'll ignore that you championed Yushchenko who's closest ally is an oligarch with nazi Una-unso support (Yushchenko's former body guards no less) and who's third in command is head of the Ukrainian Socialists. Hehe
I'm not the one who condemned others for making those types of political alliances, you are. But you don't mind in this case, because of your pro-Russian, anti-Georgian bias. You have even posted propaganda from Soros-funded "human rights" groups whining about Saakashvili's "dictatorship." That exposes you as a terrible hypocrite.
From a man who championed and champions any and all Soros' overseas candidates. I'm suprised you broke ranks with Soros on his American choice.
I'm not the one who said that anything Soros did, I would do the opposite. That was you. But you were just lying. You now promote leftist Soros propaganda against Georgia. This shows that your opposition to Yushchenko had nothing to do with Soros. It was only because Yushchenko was percieved as the anti-Russian, and you are a Russian supremacist.
Check out this "Irakli Batiashvili" of the group Forward Georgia!
Batiashvili: Events in Pankisi and Kodori are connected to the Russian unwillingness to accept Georgian independence, and are means of psychological terror on Georgia. Start with the media propaganda. Then add to it provocations, such as bombing of Georgian territory—Russia has wonderful intelligence services, who know very well where to bomb and where not to, and where potential armed forces might be located in Pankisi. Russia was purposefully bombing unpopulated areas, because the bombing was not aimed to kill Chechen forces, but was a source of psychological warfare against Georgia. Similarly, in Kodori, or to be accurate, in the Marukhi Pass, the appearance of armed forces was yet another method of psychological pressure aimed at further complicating the situation. The goal is for our society to always be under Russian pressure and fear of further escalation in the relationship with Moscow.Having just returned from Kodori, I believe it is too early to say that the situation is fully resolved there. These were very well trained forces—it must have taken a long time for these forces to be trained—and they have only moved back a few kilometers. Tomorrow the situation might become just as tense as it was on Monday and Tuesday. The fact is that Abkhaz separatist government does not wish war. They control the territory, and they wish peace so that more tourists can come to Abkhazia. However, Russia controls the separatist government, and it is highly likely that the armed forces appeared in Marukhi under Russian pressure.
Georgian government has to be very careful. It is critical for us to deal with the situation in Pankisi. The local population there—the Kisti [ethnically Chechen Georgians] population—is coming out and saying, we do not want Russian forces here, we want the Georgian government to take care of the criminals. However, we have to be careful, because it is likely that our neighbor is prepared with new provocations to further escalate the situation and involve us in a serious conflict. I do seriously hope that Georgian actions will be well designed and will be supported by the local population.
EurasiaNet: Why do you think Russian government has tried to escalate the situation so quickly and so radically?
Batiashvili: There are three main factors. First, the recent successes connected to the oil and gas pipelines that are well known. Second, the Train and Equip Program and the appearance of US forces in Georgia. This program—US military assistance and cooperation in general—is the greatest source of security for Georgia—Russia knows this very well. Third, the fact that Georgia is not willing to allow Russia to conduct "anti-terrorist" operations in Pankisi, which would mean spreading the Chechen war into Georgia and involving our country in a regional Caucasian war. Even during [Former Russian President Boris] Yeltsin’s time, Russia was demanding that our territory be used to bomb Chechen forces. Georgia rejected this then, and the relationship between Georgia and Russia soured significantly. Today you have similar demands.
Though it is also likely that there are more global reasons for why Russia is acting so aggressively at this time. There was a story in The Wall Street Journal, for example, which speaks to the possibility that Russia wishes the US to trade Georgia for Iraq. In other words, if US has the right to conduct operations in Iraq, something that worries Russia a great deal and is completely unacceptable for them, and if US does act and justly remove the Hussein regime, US authority in the world will increase and Russian will fall. Therefore, Russian action in Georgia might very well be a response to American planned action in Iraq. - GEORGIAN OFFICIAL SAYS RUSSIA’S "GOAL IS CHAOS
Watch out what you hope for jb!
Just like we are supposed to believe you'd support only conservatives in Georgia. You'd support Lucifer himself as long as he promised to roast some russian babies for you.
Looks like the new Georgia is being run by the foreign embassies.
But your back is against the wall. All you can hope to accomplish is to prove I am guilty of the same hypocrisy as I have already proved about you.
I support Georgia. I want Russian troops out of Georgia regardless of who is in charge there. President Bush agrees with me.
It's not my job to make sure conservatives run Georgia or Russia or Ukraine, or anywhere else. What is in the interests of right-wing Nationalists around the world is not always in America's interests. My loyalty is to America and America alone.
That's the point, you don't, you'll support anyone as long as they hate the Russians. You are very consistent on that point, as the only point.
But your back is against the wall. All you can hope to accomplish is to prove I am guilty of the same hypocrisy as I have already proved about you.
Haha, I don't have to prove anything, you do it every time you write. You're your own worst enemy.
My loyalty is to America and America alone.
Why you support free trade and other such things, from previous posts. Keep trying.
Only because it's against Russia, your obession. My comment on Lucifer stands.
Hardly. Don't you remember falsely accusing me of supporting Chechnya, the Eurosocialism, free trade with China, all your various bogeymen, all of Russia's enemies. But I don't support any of those things.
Why you support free trade and other such things, from previous posts
What, I support free trade because I'm not a Soviet Communist like you? Really I'd like to see what previous posts you are talking about. I am no free trade fundamentalist and I oppose free trade with China. Anymore smears from your big book of big lies you want to try on me?
I support Georgia because it wants to be free of Russian imperialism. If Russia would get its troops out of Georgia like they promised then I would have no problem. If Putin thinks he can simply resume imperial control over those states which broke away from the Soviet Union, then he has another thought coming. I have nothing against Russians. I stand with America and Georgia and freedom from tyranny. You stand with KGB Putin and Russian imperial ultranationalism.
You'd support Lucifer himself as long as he promised to roast some russian babies for you.
You'd defend Stalin himself if it means defending Soviet Russia. Oh wait, you already have. Repeatedly.
