I had to choose: Either leave the country, where it's become dangerous for me, or go on the offensive.

Any private security is a joke in a country where youre up against your own government.

Europe and America should judge Georgia's leadership on the basis of their actions, not just their words and promises. Otherwise Saakashvili will transform Georgia into a dictatorship.

I may not be a politician, but I will fight to the end of my life for what I believe in.

I won't go back on my decision. I'm not afraid of prison, but there are even worse dangers.

A difficult regional situation doesn't justify one man's determination to hold onto power. It's clear to me that democratization is a very complicated process.

A small country like Georgia has little influence on conflicts that must be resolved at the global level.
