Furious Georgians turn on Shevardnadze
The president is literally barricaded in a bitter political dispute with opposition parties which, coupled with a moribund economy, has prompted thousands of protesters onto the streets

THE GUARDIAN , TBILISI, GEORGIA
Friday, Nov 14, 2003,Page 7

Nineteen-year-old Abazar, part of the supposedly elite presidential security who lined the streets of Georgia's crumbling capital on Wednesday, earns US$40 a month. His blue uniform and beret badge may lend him an air of authority, but at heart he harbors the same grudge as the thousands of protesters who have been standing outside the parliament this week, demanding that the president quit.

The country has fallen apart, and President Eduard Shevardnadze is to blame, they say.

"Were it not for this uniform, I too would be protesting," Abazar mumbled. "He has to go."
