Saakashvili Joins Reserve Troops

President Saakashvili will spend the next ten days in a training camp for reserve troops in Osiauri, eastern Georgia, chief of the President?s Administration Giorgi Arveladze said on August 5.

He said that this will be the President?s ?voluntary service,? aimed at supporting ?those patriots who serve the motherland and are in the reserve troops.?

President Saakashvili announced his plans to join the reserve troops on July 11.

?I am going to be an ordinary reservist for two weeks in one of the camps. I have a right to take a vacation and I have the right to spend this vacation anywhere I want,? Saakashvili said.
