Georgia is now on the brink of just another shock. In an open letter addressed to the President and published in the Georgian daily "Rezonansi" on October 24, ex-speaker of the Georgian Parliament and Saakashvili's ex-ally Nino Burjanadze quite clearly speaks of the forthcoming 'relieve of the guard'. It wasn't too long ago that Burjanadze returned from the USA, and this letter is apparently the result of consultations with the representatives of the US Political Establishment. The letter is rather harsh and it can be regarded as the message of a new Georgian president, to whose post, to all appearances, the ex-speaker is gradually climbing.
