Freedom of speech in Georgia

This message is for everyone who wants to know about the real situation in Georgia. In some way it’s a heart-cry. Everyone knows that one of the foundational principles of democracy is freedom of speech, and in Georgia it’s being violated. There always have been people who think that they are above the rules and principles. And Mr. Saakashvili is one of them. Since he came to power and religiously formed his criminal regime, he put in control all of the printing products – newspapers, magazines, leaflets and even books. The printing offices, which took orders from the opposition and minorities in the past, now are being closed by the Georgian authorities on a mass basis. And now as a representative of the opposition I have to look for a place, where I can publish our materials and articles. Saakashvili claims that Georgia is a democratic state, while he is jumping down opposition’s throat. And I can’t understand why the world community is winking at the situation and Saakashvili’s "democracy". The world community should know that in Saakashvili’s kingdom things are not as good as they were presented before. Why do we call it "democracy" if we are not following its principles?

I don't know what you people there expected. Listen stay away from any self proclaimed "color" revolution, I offer the same advice to Iran. Saakashvili is a Soros neoscum puppet.

Soros’ double-dealing in the Caucasus oil market

Sometimes in life you get what you asked for, Georgia in case in point.
