Saakashvili said that Georgia is currently the "historical process" of transference of power to the opposition in a democratic way.
"We are passing peacefully most of the features that is made for the first time in this region. Georgian people have made a choice, and we respect the choice of our people," Saakashvili said. According to him, the party has some "fundamental differences with opponents," but "we need to preserve democracy and to ensure that in future elections were democratic."
