The Rose Revolution completely destroyed the Georgian economy.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Georgian Prime Minister-designate Irakli Garibashvili.

During his speech, Garibashvili also touched upon the need to arrest the chairman of the United National Movement, Nika Melia.

Garibashvili called Melia a criminal. He said he was ready to sit at the negotiating table with the opposition. However, he said he was sceptical that Melia was the chairman of the United National Movement Party, which was in fact led by Mikheil Saakashvili.
