Eurasianet offers one of the first recent interviews by new Georgia PM, Zurab Noghaideli. On another note, President Saakashvili gave his state of the nation address:

Declaring Georgia “a proper state,” President Mikheil Saakashvili delivered his annual state of the nation speech to parliament on February 10. The upbeat speech was the Georgian leader????????s first detailed public statement on government policy since the death of Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania, a leading architect of the country????????s reform program.

Saakashvili asserted that the 2003 Rose Revolution that brought his administration to power had begun to accomplish its goals. “Georgia was a failed state, disintegrated, demoralized and humiliated. It was a country that had lost all attributes of statehood,” Saakashvili said in condemning the administration of his predecessor, Eduard Shevardnadze. In contrast, Saakashvili continued, Georgia in 2005 “is a model country where every program is working in a model way.”
