KOJORI, Georgia -- Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili has said his country survived the rule of despotic Persian shahs and can also survive the current Russian government, RFE/RL's Georgian Service reports.

Saakashvili made the statement at a ceremony on February 25 marking the 89th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Georgia.

"Georgia will never kneel down before its enemies," he said.

The Georgian leader added that "we have endured [16th-century Persian ruler] Shah Abbas and we will endure [Russian Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin. A small group of traitors [in the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia] can never overshadow Georgia."

Georgian-Russian relations hit a new low in August 2008 after a five-day war in South Ossetia.

The ceremony was held in Kojori, a town outside of Tbilisi that was the scene of fierce fighting between Georgian forces and the USSR's Red Army in 1921 and is the home to the army's elite Kojori Brigade. Saakashvili spoke at a memorial for soldiers killed in the battle at Kojori.

Earlier that day, Saakashvili met in Tbilisi with former Soviet dissidents Valerya Novodvorskaya and Vladimir Bukovsky.

"I would like to express great respect toward you and add that I grew up listening to you on Radio Liberty broadcasts," he said he told them. "Generations grew up listening to [those broadcasts] not only in Georgia, but in Russia and the entire Soviet Union."

"A small group of traitors [in the breakaway regions of South Osetia and Abkhazia]" - Should not be so freely interpreted by the author of the article without an explanation:
.
Small groups of trators, unfortunately, left over by Centuries of Russian genetic war everywhere Russians ever went.

Georgia is a consolidated assembly of Ibero-Caucasian (Pre-Georgian) ethnographic groups and each of them is a valuable part of family of brothers and sisters of pre-Georgian Caucasus.

Russians creating trators from victims of genetic wars, last time since 1954-56.
I lived in Kishinev, when Russian occupying military and intelligence nazi-like national-wide conspiracy of ethnic Russians were planing and carrying through destruction of CIS promiss of 1936 Constitution, destruction of Parliament of Nations, influxing non-Russian republics and squizing their resources to breed more ethnic Russians in their place...

One of elements of preparation of invasion into non-Russian republics was the General Boldyrev type activety of raping non-Russian women and taking their babies.
I personaly happened to know about such cases:
One Osetin girl from my school was coarsed to marry a Russian.
Another girl, doughter of an Osetin officer of Soviet army was raped by Boldyrev's team.
An Osetin women was raped by a pretending to be a criminal, man related to Boldyrev team.
All or some of them had half Russian children of coarsing or a rape that Russians took away and later assigned each of them to Russian military and paramilitary units and used them as an excuse in places like Tchinvaly fortresses or as incapups, not unlike Kakoyty, Morosov and alike...

Sure, Russian invasions and repopulating of Georgian land and property also confuse some of genuin Abkhazians and South Osetins by a false promiss of Russia to forge for them "larger republics".
We know what they forge - not only for murdered by Russian secret spy armies children of Beslan but for all Ibero-Caucasian race in Northern and Southern Caucasus!

i am appaled with saakaville diatribe
never has one got so much
.western education
.generous aid
.good counsel

and what did he do?

he squandered all that in 3 crazy days and left georgian people suffer and pay horrendous price for this individuals adventure

like i said a few have been given such a terrific break in life in georgia, and now obviously defeated and disgruntled, saakaville, has only a hatred in him..

i am not sure that he deep down detests eveything conncted with russia, that is culture, people and history

its really sad moment in the history of gerogian people

yes, saakaville, putin era will end one day, but you are intelligent enough to realise that your era is over now.

you did nothing but made you people suffer and set on the path of hate of your northern neigbour

do not blame putin, medvedev, you did it to yourself..

you can redeem yourself quickly too

just grant unconditional independence to ossetia and abkazia and you too will become a true democrat

i am sad that such a bright individual in the shortest of times managed to destroy what has been built over 100 years...

even stalin was not that good...

history will judge putin and saakaville do not worry about it

but history will
sit in judgement of you
and i am not sure that you will come out unscathed or semlling like roses

you may think that but i very much doubt it

time for a retirement village or
washington dc lobby employment

"Georgia will never kneel down before its enemies,"
but I remember Georgian police kneeling down in front of Ossetians in Tskhinvali a few years back. Dozens of them.

Are you Stalin? Stalin officially died in 1953. Are you Djugashvili?
Maybe, but no more than my contribution in 1947, when I was four
And offered contract with the people to help the suffering Humanity,
For which I was sentenced to death with my mother by Russia, a hor.

I maybe your relative, some way. I don't mind you missrepresent Prince.
I might adree with you that Saakashvili as all former Soviets was squized
Since childhood by usurped by Russia Soviet Babilon and telepath's twist,
But it shouldn't be used for Russian Imperial resurectors even for an inch.

3 "craizy" days were Russian fault and it was more than 3, smart Russian.
Russian spies from Beloruss and Ukraine were working at my old mother.
They asked me whether I still was fighting on Internet, for Georgia and CIS.
I avoided answer, she reported "no problem", to waiting Russian invaders.

Saakashvili was hypnotised, using old Russian Soviet Babilon brainwash,
He lost his temper in some words. Georgia did well, giving sircumstances.
Russia annex, as planed since 1954, treasonous coward, parasitic "wash",
Unleashing genocide. What culture? Georgian influence - or drunk dances?

For a velvet revolution in Georgia

The Anarchist International, and its Libertarian Federation of Georgia, LFG, i.e. a loose network of subscribers/networkmembers associated with AI, call for a velvet revolt and velvet revolution in the country. So far the support for the Georgian opposition is estimated to about 25-35% of the people in the country, seen as a class as opposed to the superiors in rank and/or income. Thus the opposition movement has so far not got sufficient momentum

i) to do away with the right-fascist, ultra-authoritarian and totalitarian regime of Mikheil Saakashvili and his nazi light National Movement party, and

ii) to introduce a more libertarian system, on the road to real democracy in Georgia, economically and political/administrative.

Furthermore, the opposition is split regarding organizations and strategy, and to some extent also aims. The opposition is too much political party based, and too little a grassrots-movement and organization based on workers, farmers and students - the people, and their interest - real democracy. The opposition groups and their spokespersons, must

a) unite regarding aims and strategy on a program towards real democracy, and

b) create a broad based opposition network-organization based on workers, farmers and students - the people,

c) with a critical mass, i.e. support from more than 50% of the population,

d) to do away with the right-fascist regime of Saakashvili, say, via mass demonstrations and/or a referendum about the system.

The Anarchist International and its Georgian section, LFG, strongly call on the Georgian opposition in general, to implement this program a) - d), and via a velvet revolt and velvet revolution do away with the right fascist regime once and for all.

Funny that Saakashvili mentions Shah Abbas. Many Georgians worked as military, officials, and servants under Shah Abbas. Does Saakashvili wants to make a career under Putin?
