GEORGIAN PUBLIC FIGURE DOES NOT RULE OUT ZHVANIA WAS KILLED
Leader of the opposition League of Georgian National Defense Irina Sarishvili stated in her interview with Interfax news agency that the causes Zurab Zhvania's death announced by the officials "leave too many questions". She holds the opinion that "Zurab Zhvania was the most serious and balancing force of the powerful Georgian triumvirate and his death will shake this balance".
Head of "Former Political Prisoners for Human Rights" NGO Nana Kakabadze does not rule out that Prime Minister Zuran Zhvania's death was not accidental. Former deputy of the Georgian parliament Zakharia Kutsnashvili stated during a press conference that "the establishment of the truth whatever bitter it is would be a worthy way-out for the rescue of the state reputation."
