Saakashvili: Ruling Party Won Elections in Adjara

President Saakashvili said late on March 28 after the parliamentary elections that his party National Movement-Democrats won elections in Adjarian Autonomy with “significant advantage.”


“According to the preliminary information we secured twice more support in Adjara than the Revival Union [Adjarian leader Aslan Abashidze’ party]. The local authorities lost elections in Adjara for the first time during last ten years,” Mikheil Saakashvili told a news conference.


He also warned the Adjarian authorities to disarm local paramilitary forces and obey the central government. 


“They have two options – to surrender arms, or I will disarm them. The second option will be very painful for them,” he added.


“We will not tolerate a feudal regime in Georgian region any more,” he said referring to Adjarian Autonomy.
