Georgian opposition plans "to do away with Saakashvili regime" on May 25

TBILISI. May 23 (Interfax) - A big column of supporters of the opposition Georgian Party has joined the protest action outside of the Georgian Public TV building in Tbilisi.

At the rally the leader of the Georgian Party, Sozar Subari, said: "Terror is the only means of subsistence of the regime of [Georgian President Mikheil] Saakashvili."

"They are not interested in the people, therefore we must resolutely fight against the antipopular authorities. Today and tomorrow we must stand together and on May 25 we will fully do away with the Saakashvili regime," he said.

He called the incumbent leadership in Georgia "a criminal gang."

Another leading figure in the party, former defense minister Irakly Okruashvili who is now in exile in France said in an interview with Maestro TV company earlier on Sunday that he would be in Tbilisi on May 25 and that May 25 would be "the end of the Saakashvili regime."
