Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili in the coming year should step down, of course, for fear that the opposition comes to power, he will try in every way, by all possible means, by hook or by crook to push his parliamentary party.

On the eve of the parliamentary elections the Georgian ruling party-National Movement - is obviously nervous. It has more than a good reason to fear that Bidzina Ivanishvili and his Georgian dream will wrest the initiative from Saakashvili.
