Burjanadze Slams Zourabichvili

Georgian Parliamentary Chairperson Nino Burjanadze, who is currently visiting Ukraine, slammed former Foreign Minister Salome Zourabichvili for her statements made prior to the latter?s resignation.
 
?If the Minister thought that the situation was so alarming [in the country], the Parliament was so terrible [that it] destroys the country and should be dissolved, she [Zourabichvili] ought to have talked about it much earlier, or should have left this team… but I do not believe in those persons who resort to criticism only after their chairs are endangered,? Nino Burjanadze told reporters on October 19.
 
Nino Burjanadze also said that Salome Zourabichvili?s moves after her dismissal were equivalent to ?a launch of a new opposition movement.?

Burjanadze blamed Salome Zourabichvili for ?losing opportunities in respect to the European Union, which the country had at the time of Zourabichvili?s appointment.? However, she did not specify these ?opportunities.?

Earlier, Burjanadze said that Georgia?s ?successful foreign policy? was not due to Salome Zourabichvili, but was a result of a policy carried out by the President and the Parliament.
