Saakashvili intends to train winemakers, new political elite of Georgia

(Interfax – TBILISI, September 24, 2013) U.S. President Barack Obama gave a positive assessment of the activities of his Georgian counterpart Mikheil Saakashvili, the Georgian president’s administration said.

Saakashvili leaves a reformed and democratic society, the administration quoted Obama as saying during a meeting with the Georgian president in New York in a video of the meeting that was posted on Tuesday.

“Besides continuing my political activities, I also intend to be involved in educational projects that deal with preparing the new political elite as well as training winemakers. I also want to open a presidential library,” Saakashvili said when asked by Obama about his plans for the future.

Saakashvili will speak at the UN General Assembly on September 25. The president said he intended to protest the unfolding situation in the South Ossetian-Georgian conflict zone.
