Georgian businessmen
Georgian businessmen appear to be fully aware of the necessary political changes in Georgia to save her from destruction. Well in previous times they were not very happy with Saakashvili crazy about military games and reluctant to delve into economical matters. Now after Russian retaliatory measures which have hit them so badly they are irritated and some are bursting with indignation. They think Saakashvili is to blame for their present and future losses. Being a businessmen myself I am most appreciative of Badri Patarkacishvili line. He braved not only Saakashvili but his American bosses as well when he swooped down on the national election pattern as totally undemocratic always supportive only of the ruling party. He’s really a courageous man! Perhaps Saakashvili treating scornfully Georgian people will have an ear for the person of the elite. I am glad that someone can brave our officials’ anger.
Badri’s wordes are really a challenge for Bush who stressed not long ago that Georgia has already built all the necessary democratic institutions according to the western democracy standards. Thus Americans appear to find themselves in an awkward position. Either that was their one more lie in face of international community or western democracy standards are far from perfection actually. For it’s absolutely clear we can’t call democracy the election system making possible the victory of the ruling party each time. Georgian election system is just the case.
This was the reason why Badri refused taking part in elections. And many Georgians did the same sort of thing. So I am sure that the number of people coming to the voting stations has been faked and exaggerated. So the elections’ results are not valid.
