Dzidziguri: opposition's actions to last for three more weeks in Georgia

Leader of the oppositional Conservative Party of Georgia Zviad Dzidziguri has stated that the actions of the opposition with a demand of Mikhail Saakashvili's will last for 2-3 weeks more.

"Our actions will continue for two-three weeks more, and in second half of May the knot will get untied," Mr Dzidziguri said today.

According to his story, the opposition plans to expand the geography of its actions and, apart from Tbilisi, hold rallies in other Georgian cities and regions. "We plan to hold a march of our supporters from Western Georgia to Tbilisi," the ITAR-TASS quotes him as saying.

Meanwhile, a part of Georgian radical opposition has expressed its readiness to start a dialogue with the authorities. The "Alliance for Freedom" has offered Peter Semnebi, Special Representative of the European Union in the countries of Southern Caucasus, to be a mediator in negotiations of the authorities with the opposition in order to attain particular results, as the "Interfax" writes.
