I have money, but my most important capital is the trust of the people.

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

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.

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.

This is my philosophy: I prefer to stay out of the public eye. I love freedom.

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

I decided to go into politics because of our Soviet-style government.
