(Tbilisi. April 10, 2003. Civil Georgia) – Parliamentary session today fails to start working because of absence of quorum.
Opposition Revival Parliamentary faction accused today pro-governmental factions in deliberate boycotting the session to hinder discussion of the draft law on free trade zone, proposed by the Revival faction, backed by the leader of the Adjarian Autonomous Republic Aslan Abashidze.
79 votes of MPs are needed to approve the proposal. Along with the Revival, factions XXI centaury, United Georgia and the United Democrats will support the draft law.
