GEORGIAN PRESIDENT’S NEW RESIDENCE TO BE BUILT IN ARMENIAN DISTRICT OF TBILISI

The new residence of Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili will be obviously built in Avlabar, the Armenian district of Tbilisi. As Georgian leader told journalists in Batumi, the construction speeding-up depends on the sale of the previous residence located in the suburbs of Tbilisi – Krtsanisi, where Saakashvili does not have any desire to work. Speaking of the possibility of selling the old residence, Georgian President said: “If someone wants to live in a building, in which Lavrenty Beria used to sleep, and near which Eduard Shevarnadze lives, God be with him”.
