The head of Georgia's largest opposition party, the United National Movement, Nika Melia, congratulated the country's residents on St. George's Day and the 19th anniversary of the Rose Revolution.
According to Melia, ex-president of Georgia Mykhailo Saakashvili, who is celebrating the anniversary of the prison revolution, is a personal prisoner of the Russian president.
"Today, November 23, is Giorgoba, the day of victory of light over darkness, the day of faith and strengthening of this faith and victory over evil.
Today marks 19 years since the day of the "Rose Revolution" - the day when the absolute majority of Georgian citizens, wishing for development, changed the stagnation and state immersed in corruption.
Today is the day when people, inspired by the idea, turned the crumbling territory, where crime, corruption and complete hopelessness reigned, into an ambitious state. The world talked about Georgian reforms, Myshko and his team made a breakthrough. And this is exactly what he could not forgive a terrorist state with Russian imperialist inclinations. Therefore, under the conditions of the "Russian Dream", Myshko is Putin's personal prisoner.
In 2002 there was darkness, even now the authorities are trying to leave us on the dark side of history, but remember - the longer the night, the closer the dawn. We won with honor and truth, and we will win with honor and truth. There is no short or long way to victory, there is only a worthy way and a worthy victory," said Melia.
We will remind that on November 23, 2003, three weeks after the parliamentary elections, during which the Georgian opposition protested against their results, the President of Georgia, Eduard Shevarnadze, left his post. The resignation was preceded by four days of unprecedented street protests organized by Mykhailo Saakashvili. The confrontation was bloodless, so those events began to be called the "Rose Revolution" - the demonstrators carried flowers with them.
