Saaakashvili touched the issue of dissolution of veterans protest action in live at the First Caucasian TV channel teleconference. He said all veterans have a right to express its protest and demand the social privileges. Saakashvili said that the privilege for all people should be the defense of homeland, but not asking anything for facilitation. Saakashvili said that government did everything possible for this people. The wages for officers in our army is 1000 GEL. The average salary of soldier is 800 GEL. All families whose military servants died as a result of military operations get an apartment. All members of such families are employed and getting pensions.
The dissolution of the veterans' hunger strike using police force was right Saakashvili believes. "They were at the memorial of Heroes with honor guards and abused the place by its presence there in the inappropriate manner, they were urinated the place that is at the center of the city. Nevertheless the honor guards being there were keeping patience, - Sakashvili said. The democracy is not only freedom it is as well responsibility. No one has a right to abuse national symbols.
