Longtime Adjar leader Aslan Abashidze last week fled to Moscow after a tense standoff with the central Georgian government in Tbilisi that threatened to turn violent. Saakashvili and demonstrators had called for Abashidze to resign.
Also today, Saakashvili appointed a new interior minister and mayor of the Adjar capital Batumi.
Saakashvili claimed that some of Abashidze's armed supporters are still hiding in forests. He urged them to surrender.
