Sasun Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Let's see if he delivers on his promises of improving Javakhk conditions and relations with Armenia. Did you hear that Shevardnadze also voted for Saakashvili? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Dan, I saw him on BBC news tonight, the reporter said that he voted for Saakashvili. And yes again, many people say that Saakashvili is USA's man although that could mean different things.
