Saakashvili's United National Movement defies ruling coalition's ultimatum

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's United National Movement party says it defies the ultimatum issued by the country's ruling Georgian Dream coalition and Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili.

"We are ready for a dialogue with the ruling coalition, but while we are being persecuted such dialogue seems impossible," lawmaker from the United National Movement David Darchiashvili says.
