“Since the Russian law, since the rigging of the elections, since what we have seen happening in the country, which is a country where we do not have any longer any independent institution, not the courts, not the central bank and not and of course the parliament, any institution now is under the control of the Georgian Dream. So we have been moving more and more rapidly into a quasi Russian model.”

“They (Georgia’s partners in the West) can take measures, and that is up to them to select which measures they will take for those that are depriving Georgia from their right to elect their democratic government, and they have to support what is the peaceful demand of the Georgian population, which is new elections. We are not demanding revolution. We are not putting demands on who has to get out of the… We are asking for new elections, but in conditions that will ensure that the will of the people will not be misrepresented or stolen again.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Salome Zourabichvili, Georgian President:
“Georgia has been always resisting to the Russian influence, will not accept to have its vote stolen and its destiny stolen. So you can expect to see more and more people on the streets. They all are peaceful. What is not peaceful is the violent repression that we have seen, that should be certainly condemned by all our partners. And that is something we are expecting to see, solidarity and support. But whatever happens, the Georgian population will not resign to the situation.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Salome Zourabichvili, Georgian President:
“It’s not an elected government. It’s an illegitimate one. The new president will be as illegitimate as the government because it’s based on elections that are not recognized by the population, nor by our partners. So there is a deep crisis. And the only way for a democratic country out of the crisis are new elections.”

STORYLINE:
Georgia’s president said on Saturday that protesters demanding a new election "are not demanding a revolution" but elections "in conditions that will ensure that the will of the people will not be misrepresented or stolen again."
Speaking to the AP on Saturday, Salome Zourabichvili said that Georgia was becoming a “quasi-Russian” state and that Georgian Dream controlled the country’s major institutions.
Zourabichvili called the current government illegitimate because the election was “not recognised neither by the population nor by our partners.”
