Leader of the National Movement Mikheil Saakashvili, who was a key person curing the bloodshed revolution, called on the MPs of the old Parliament to attend the Parliament’s first session two hours before the Parliament was convened.
“We together need to find a common language and reach a consensus. Non-attendance of the session means new confrontation in the country. Those, who do not come to the session, should assume the responsibility for creation of constitutional crisis in the country,” Mikheil Saakashvili said at a news briefing on November 25.
The previous Parliament members should approve holding of the new parliamentary and presidential elections within 45 days, as considered by the constitution.
