Georgian PM says no plans for presidency

PanARMENIAN.Net - Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili said on Monday, Dec 24, that he had no plans to run for presidency next October, according to RIA Novosti.

“I have no intention of becoming president,” he told a news conference. “I have no plans to take up a post; I will be there - where my people need me.”
