The FINANCIAL — According to online magazine Civil Georgia, New Rights Party said its seven lawmakers would stop hunger strike only if Parliamentary Chairperson, Nino Burjanadze, resigned.
“This is our major demand,” MP Davit Gamkrelidze, the leader of New Rights Party, who is among hunger striker lawmakers, told journalists on March 17. “As far as our other demands are concerned [related with the upcoming parliamentary elections], we will be able to continue dialogue about those issues with a person, who would replace her [Burjanadze].”
Burjanadze told reporters on March 17 that it was “not serious” to demand the resignation of the parliamentary chairperson’s just eight weeks before the expiration of the authority of the sitting parliament.
