Georgia, Tbilisi, May 5 / Trend , N.Kirtskhalia / 

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili charged the Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili "to get out of the ground" the organizers of the revolt in Muhrovani tank unit. 

The President said that the criminals, who tried to organize disorder at the instigation of its Russian customers, must be found. 

"You have to find the organizers of the revolt Otaradze and Tskrialashvili (one former and one current official of the Ministry of Defense), who tried to destabilize the situation, as always, they managed to escape again," he said.

Merabishvili said that the management of the unit was detained, but a cordon at 100 kilometers was established around the unit, and the search is continuing. 

The President also talked to the soldiers of the unit and told them that while himself and the country took such care for the military people, it was impossible to hold such actions. "Today the power is of other kind, this is not the army of Shevardnadze and not the leader who will tolerate anything illegal," he said.
