EDUARD SHEVARNADZE CONFIRMED HIS DENIAL TO RUN FOR 3-RD PRESIDENT TERM

Georgian president Eduard Shevarnadze confirmed today his denial to run for the president for 3-rd term in 2005. At the same time, as reported by “ITAR-TASS” agency, he spoke against the constitutional amendments forbidding one and the same individual to be elected for the supreme state post of the country. It should be noted that E. Shevarnadze was elected for this post in 1995 and 2000. “It is early to speak where I will reside after I leave the presidential chair. Do not worry about me, when the time comes I will decide myself where to live: in Tbilisi, Moscow, Washington or in my native village of Mamati”, – the Georgian leader said.
