Opponents to Sue New Leadership over “Coup”

Leaders of the newly created political party Alliance for Democratic Georgia, who were the members of Shevardnadze’s bloc at the November 2 parliamentary elections, accused the new leadership of coup and intend to sue in the Constitutional Court.

“They [leaders of the velvet revolution] violated Georgian constitution, which reads ‘no individual or group of individuals has the right to seize or unlawfully take state power.’ However I don’t hope that that the court will rule positively on our lawsuit,” Irakli Gogava, leader of the Alliance for Democratic Georgia said at a news briefing today.

He also accused the provisional government of intimidation of the representatives of the previous authorities.

“Triumvirate [Nino Burjanadze, Zurab Zhvania and Mikheil Saakashvili] launched political terror against the opponents,” Gogava said.
