Georgian President Issues Sensational Warning
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili made a sensational statement today. According to him, there is information that Ajarian leader, Aslan Abashidze, is planning to invite mercenaries to Ajaria. The president told Aslan Abashidze not to dare to bring even a single Chechen to Ajaria. "There has also been information about some attempt to hire mercenaries abroad and bring them to Ajaria. My advice to Aslan Abashidze would be not even to think about it. Even if one person gets in from anywhere, for example a Chechen - they have also been looking for people in Ukraine - or any other mercenary who will act against the authorities of Georgia, it will spell a very tragic end for everyone, even if just one person gets in. Even if just one person gets in, I will find out about it. Therefore, I would strongly advise everyone against doing it," the president said in a televised statement. Posted by: TS 2004-03-24 |
