"REVOLUTION HAS A BEGINNING, BUT NOT AN END": GEORGIA MARKS FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF "ROSE REVOLUTION", WHILE UKRAINE AND ABKHAZIA PREPARE FOR THEIRS

PanARMENIAN.Net - Today Georgia marks the favorite national church holiday - St. George Day. The holiday has coincided with the anniversary of the "rose revolution" last year. Just on the St. George Day, November 23, the Shevardnadze regime collapsed. The St. George holiday is marked in Georgia two times a year: in spring (April 23) and in autumn (November 23). And if a power shift occurred in Tbilisi November 23, the regime changed in Adjaria on the same script April 23, 2004. Meanwhile today the Georgian President addressed a call to citizens of Ukraine, where after the second round of presidential election hundreds of thousands of supporters of Yuschenko opposition candidate went to the streets and some City Councils, including that of Kiev, recognized him as their President. Many people in Ukraine expect repetition of the Georgian scenario. In compliance with a nearly mysterious coincidence this takes place on St. George Day, exactly a year after the Georgian events. Moreover, it looks like today the protracted crisis in Abkhazia also comes close to its resolution after the Council of the Elders of Abkhazia recognized opposition candidate S. Bagapsh elected President of the country. Future events will show whether St. George day will become an international revolution day.
