A lawmaker from the majority coalition in the Georgian parliament, Gia Jorjoliani, said on Sunday he planned to start the procedure of Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili’s impeachment this week.
“I think the reasons for the parliament to start the president’s impeachment procedure are more than sufficient. As a member of parliament, I will start the required procedures on Wednesday. I hope that the majority of parliamentarians will support this initiative,” RIA Novosti quotes Jorjoliani. As previously reported by Vestnik Kavkaza, the Georgian president admitted that his party had organized caches of weapons, ammo, narcotics and videos of tortures.
Jorjoliani underlined that although Saakashvili is to lose the post in October anyway, the impeachment was needed “for society to gain full understanding of how ruinous the actions of this criminal regime were for the country.”
