Georgia, Tbilisi, Feb. 13 / Trend N. Kirtzkhalia /
Georgia President Mikhail Saakashvili is satisfied with the quality of parliamentary debates. "It's a sign that our country and democracy improve and this is the way that we chose not long ago", the president sad at the parliament.
"We didn't intend to show off our achievements and give baseless promises", - said the president, noting, that Georgia which is under conditions of conflict and global crisis demands the truth without the superfluous optimism and without pessimism.
The president said that he didn't agree with the representative of CDM (Christian-Democratic Movement) Giorgio Akhvlediani to form new antimonopoly and employment services. "We can't afford forming new institutions in such hard times. Such institutions will not solve a problem, though I realize your concern about rising drug prices and we are ready to listen to your concrete proposals", he said.
"The biggest disaster for us would be an absence of electricity. Now we are supplied with electricity due to our policy. Our enemies want to see Georgia without lighting and heating, and if they have an opportunity to reach it, they will do it. It concerns our policy in the energy sphere and it includes the memorandum with Inter RAO UES. I asked the opposition to get familiarization with this document, but it's not final and we are very cautious on this issue", - said Saakashvili.
The president admitted mistakes during the school reform and stressed that most of them have been corrected. "The man who doesn't work, doesn't make a mistake", he said.
Saakashvili has agreed with arguments of the opposition on worsening of the condition of middle class. "Of course it's bad, when qualified staff lose their job, but this is the consequences of the crisis and we do our best to solve this problem", - he said.
The Georgian president does not agree with "lost war" conception, saying, that nothing has ended yet. "Our enemy is not the Russian nation, but the Russian government's policy aimed at destruction of our state," he said.
