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

I would like to become the prime minister, do the job for two years, and then leave and devote myself to public work.

I travel as much as I can and meet people.

I have always lived according to my conscience, and my past is clean.

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 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.
