"Beginning Monday we are going to have a new wave of protest, peaceful, organised so we're not going to solicit any more irrational behaviour from law enforcement or other agencies. It will be well organised and I believe that in future if these protest rallies will be enough for the president to hear the people's will. That will have an effect of course on developments in the future."

STORYLINE:
Thousands of people marched through Georgia's capital Tbilisi on Saturday - the third day of peaceful protests calling for President Mikhail Saakashvili to step down.
About 10-thousand demonstrators protested on Saturday in three locations: in front of parliament, outside Saakashvili's residence and at the headquarters of the main state television channel.
The protesters are most angry with Saakashvili over his handling of the brief war last summer with Russia.
The Georgian army fled ahead of invading Russian troops, and the country lost territory as separatists and their Russian allies took full control of two breakaway Georgian regions.
