We, people, are not enemies to each other, but we are each other's political rivals, the President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, said in his speech at the first session of the new parliament.
"This campaign was tough and obscene from all sides, but now you're representing the whole nation. Earlier it was time for campaign and competition, now it's the time to work in order to improve agriculture and develop democracy. Besides, we have to work together on issues of

territorial integrity", he said.
The president wished the majority "not only not to worsen or destroy anything", but also to keep promises given to people. As for the minority, the president wished them to be constructive.
"This does not mean that we should forget the difference in our views or that we should agree with each other on everything. We have different positions on a range of issues, including crime, fight against corruption, economy and foreign policy," he said.
