you're tuned to r.t. the headlines on the greek capital is braced for more violence and made a general strike in future protests of forty six were injured in clashes with police the un rested comes just ahead of parliament's key vote on even a sturdy measures to avoid defaulting on debt. greek economic turmoil is the first challenge for the new international monetary fund chief christine lagarde the first woman to head the organization chill so faces the tough task of pointing

off the perception of a pariah math is biased in favor of western countries. and fears grow that under arrest in syria quite striking but it's and has been our weapons it's still there to lebanon threatening to stoke up further trouble in the region and while israel is reportedly to point you missile defense systems there is a border with lebanon. the georgian opposition leader in the persian has been in brussels recently as part of a ground europe trip the visit was aimed at giving an inside account of the last months of violent police crackdown on protesters which announcer told r.t. georgia's costly p.r. campaigns can't hide the truth about president sarkozy really yesterday's and to me . georgian president saakashvili ended in violent dispersal of protesters by their

eyes police during us now to talk more about that particular circumstance and instances in georgian politics in general is the recognized leader of georgian opposition you know burjanadze. as you think you very much for joining us today the first question unfortunately will be a somewhat sad one we will have to ask you about the speech are attributed to your supporters. there on the night of the protests but it's also more about what happened that night people knew as they made the government will use the force against the paramus fronts and we said many times when we appealed as a compilation into the people who were standing in front of the parliament buildings would be governmental yours of course but these people were really very motivated very many of them said to me and to other leaders so national assembly directly we are ready for. even previously the force against us

but we will show example for the rest of the population of georgia that we have to fight for our dignity and for our rights but of course nobody was waiting. will they use such a brutal force people nobody was waiting for the police will be just demonstration of force and this will be a operation to punish people who are in front of the parliament the georgian special forces surrounding the people where in trek there was no way out there was no possibility to leave the square. as we understand special forces received special instructions to arrest all them our strengths and more than nine hundred demonstrators hope. that night to beat people brutally especially in hants had so many people received serious injuries which transport people to hospitals and

they had the special instruction and not to allow me the leaders of the national assembly to leave. plains. so. it was a real common. people it's not an accidental day when one of the main supporters of the war is this mr bender kids whose quality world nor even in other places said that it was ok that the government used such a brutal force against the demonstrations tomorrow as they will think twice and till they will participate in any demonstrations so one person our supporters who died despite of the fact that the government was broadcast t.v. died because of car accident which thanks to my cars which is not serious fortunately there were real footage which shows the police person have been

beat until the dance by ten fifteen special forces representatives and you can save these video footage on youtube and on our website too following because many people were arrested a lot of your supporters in fact have gone missing so do you have any information on their current whereabouts do you know anything. about two hundred seventy eight people and. most of these people have been arrested not only trying to sikhs in the morning but afterwards and all they have. to call the resistance against the police result in evidence that is real evidence is from the side of the government of course sure that these people are political prisoners. they will appeal to strasburg court concerning all these cases and what has to change in georgian politics for the country to move forward step away from its. post soviet. style

than move forward towards westernized country or to prosper you know i will not say right now that georgia is a post soviet country it was. into selves and forge a thousand five. thousand leads to selves and eight even in spite of the world right now it's a typical soviet style country. in georgia right now it's a real no bullshit. with all signs of soviet regime while a sheen of elementary constitutional norms. violation of elementary human rights control of media. police and we just dream everything despite all our legal obligations if it's coming from from the political decisions so it's a typical soviet country every person who is

a good three is the enemy of the country i remember in soviet times even when i was small girl not afterwards during the previous record but before i read it in the books but every person who was criticizing soviet regime was. supporters or agent of secret agent of imperioli right now in georgia it's the same you can change the world imperialism with russia every person who is criticizing saakashvili and who is against he said regime all of that just beginning for me it's a very serious place. agents of russia are friendly we are just traders we are enemies of the people everything we say. you can't imagine it wasn't for myself but you. enjoyed your people right now not everybody of course for. many people are afraid even to call to your place to ask you how are you

so afraid to come to the funerals if. it's a family or so people who are not just agree with the transformation and if you have a different point of view if you are supposed to suffer positions you have huge reach a verdict hirees to lose their job to find finding your product drugs or. do you have a high risk to be really just outside their of not all of you probably all but real life in the world so this is a typical soviet country modernized i call you can modernize the soviet union. which is the ruling right now in my country the perception of the united states officials changed at all of the president's interest really has the support windowed just saying yes without any dogs really has right now and his regime less personal supports and it was before during president. bush's

presidency but you know the problem is that united states is. they have too many problems george is not priority number one so that is why quite often i have a feeling that. details are high officials in the united states know what really going on in georgia from another side letter where state department conclusions in two thousand and nine two thousand and ten are where they were speaking about a little corruption or where they were picking about selective justice but i think that. nevertheless even if this support which that straight ahead right has right now this is a mistake from the side of. i think it's because. kind of support in eyes of many georgians creating a lot of questions people don't understand why one of the most democrates country

in the world i'll continue to support. even when i was there was a regime which is absolutely the market for the georgian president has been seen as a sort of freedom poster boy by a lot of people in the west not just the united states but in europe as well so right now is your is your staying here in brussels and meeting with people do you find it difficult to change that. perception of the georgian president you know mainly the. international community they know real face of saakashvili quite well of course the diplomacy means that they will never say it in public but you can compare our position of these people before just nonsense that they put themselves and before they even. me and have rights now but of course you need time time. to. call a real face of. really a real face of georgian democracy. lots of really very year

to. p.r. companies. but nevertheless if you can see quite critical articles and send him to so you can buy many things that are money which is not actually spending for p.r. and a lot of companies but you can't buy everything and everyone you can lie for a short time to ruin but you can't lie for ever to everybody so it's matter of time but of course we need to work very seriously and that is. what has for you personally changed since you left the georgian government and switched over to the opposition side you know my life in the government was not confident. because i had lots of problems with governmental team. it was very difficult to be responsible for the many decisions which was not supported in the close circle from my side

but i am a person who is clean according groups as i was a part of the team quite often i was taking responsibility for the decisions which . was decided in spite of my protests and i just. decisions but i was a part of the team when i saw that. i don't want to continue like that i don't want to be responsible in front of my people for what i think is not right but nevertheless. was done by the government i decided to lead you know personally of course speaker of the parliament and more called for people you have security you have a lot of people around the you have just as there are a lot of people around who are trying just to say at least hello to you right now of course many things have been changed even for not friends let's say trying to

avoid to see your or to speak with you or sometimes just me just. doing in this case that they didn't see you in just a public place then of course me personally not not comfortable the. leader of the positional party enjoyed your really difficult because there you all are responsible in front of the people we trust to you. and you can't protect these people even when you know that these people are absolutely innocent and right and of course the emotional it's very difficult i remember case. i can tell you that even more difficult for me was twenty six. twenty seven says that. night until i received information that some people hoping died when i was under attack from the side of special forces the more difficult it was the second date

said day when i was receiving every minute in my phone information but this person had been arrested if that person had been arrested the question and just we don't know where he is and you have you can't do anything absolutely to protect our people. in any case you can just don't think you are have to continue to fight we are wishing you the best in all your endeavors thank you very much for coming and talking to us can thank you. wealthy british style is an expert on. the market. can find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to cause a report on r g. twenty years ago are just trying.
