Georgia's fifth president, Salome Zurabishvili, says she will voluntarily leave the presidential palace.

“I want to tell you and report to you - six years ago I took an oath on the Constitution, but even more on loyalty to the country and loyalty to you, so I am here today, and this loyalty will not change in any way, whether I am in the palace or outside the palace. I will leave here with you and I will be with you. I am taking with me the legitimacy, the flag, your trust,” she told the citizens gathered outside the Orbeliani Palace.

According to her, the inauguration ceremony of the new president, Mikheil Kavelashvili, is a “parody.

And this state does not deserve such parodies... They are closed, frightened, corrupt, illegitimate, unrecognized, and subject to sanctions. We are open, free and calm. The truth is behind us, because we have love - love for the country and love for each other, and that is why we will win
