Saakashvili: ‘Our Enemy Wants Non-Existence of Georgia’

President Saakashvili said on June 5 that Georgia was not at all “a post-war country,” because Georgia “is the country in battle.”

“We will become post-war country only after Georgia is entirely free,” he said. “We are in the struggle for existence; we will either win, or the Georgian state will go into grave for centuries in case of a failure.”

“There is only two options in this situation – either to surrender and to do what Georgia’s enemy wants or to accomplish our struggle to the end, there is not solution in between, because all of our attempts to negotiate, to make truce, to agree on something with this enemy ended with nothing; because what they do not want the most is existence of independent Georgia… What they need is non-existence of Georgia.”
