Georgian ex-minister returns to lead pro-Russian movement
Georgian former Minister of State Security Valery Khaburdzania returned from Moscow to Tbilisi to lead a pro-Russian movement in the political life of the country.
Khaburdzania told the Maestro TV Company live that he is ready
to unite the pro-Russian spectrum of Georgian political life.
There is a differentiation of political forces in Georgia and now
there are pro-Western, pro-American and pro-Russian forces.
"No one rejects Western values. We say that there must be closer
relations with Russia and in regional associations," Khaburdzania
said.
As President Saakashvili explained, he dismissed Khaburdzania after
a meeting when Russian President Vladimir Putin asked him to leave
Khaburdzania in his position. Khaburdzania is Putin's former
classmate. Saakashvili said that he could not leave an 'agent of
Russia's influence' in such a significant position.
