The secretary of the state commission working on the new constitution of Georgia Tengiz Sharmanashvili summed up the work of the commission after it approved the draft constitution with 44 votes against three.
Sharmanashvili hailed the work of the commission and said its members did their best to draft the project, which would facilitate democratic development of the country. The mixed model of governance distributes authorities and responsibilities equally between government branches.
The commission secretary disapproved opposition`s criticism towards the draft constitution, saying it was a great mistake.
`Opposition made serious mistake by refusing to join the discussion of a new constitution. They did not think the reform would be brought to the end, neither they expected such serious pressure from international organizations,` Sharmanashvili said and added that various international organizations and expert-constitutionalists approved the document before it was adopted by the commission.
