Part of Georgian opposition slam rest of opposition for being Russia's puppets

Kakha Shartava, leader of the National Forum, broke the silence about the opposition consultations only after the yesterday's meeting in the Tbilisi Chess Palace, where Noghaideli turned out to be a key figure in the talks about mechanisms for revealing joint candidates before self-government elections.

Shartava said his party would not join such discussions, where the political positions of the participants contradict one another.

Shartava said such an attempt to unite were mythical.

"Do not dare invite National Forum to such meetings, where we will be thanked by Noghaideli, the Kremlin and Putin for joining them. There must not be any 'pro-orientations' in Georgia; Spontaneous unions are unacceptable for us. No one should try to 'book' Tbilisi and Georgia by assertions on mythical unity, as National Movement did it once," Shartava said.

Shartava has also commented on the elections, accusing the government of increasing the voter list with on million voters, which made him think that these elections would not be successful for opposition.

Shartava called upon the opposition to take into consideration the previous experience and fight for improving the election environment in the country.
