Nino Burjanadze, former parliamentary speaker and leader of opposition Democratic Movement-United Georgia party, said she was “absolutely sure that events in Georgia will, unfortunately, develop through the revolutionary scenario.”

“Saakashvili simply does not leave a chance for other scenarios,” she said in an interview with the Georgian news agency, InterPressNews, on March 2.

“We should spare no efforts in order to make this revolution peaceful. More people in the streets will create more guarantees that this revolution will really be peaceful and Saakashvili will not dare” to use force against people, she added.
