I am not responsible for the actions of Saakashvili and even for those of Gamsakhurdia.

I believe politicians should always remain realistic.

I think my resignation was the only way to avoid bloodshed.

Germany is determined to provide substantial help. So are the Netherlands and other states. But a day will come when we have to count on our own resources.

But we cannot rely on foreign help indefinitely.

I couldn't stand the idea of bloodshed, casualties.

As for myself, I was never against Russia.
