Azerbaijan, Baku, May 6 / Trend , E. Tariverdiyeva/ The government is less likely to change in Georgia soon, American expert on Georgia Lincoln Mitchell said.
"I think it remains unlikely that we will see a change of government in Georgia due to the opposition demonstrations," professor at University of Columbia Mitchell wrote to Trend via email.
The Georgia opposition has been seeking Saakashvili's resignation for already a month. The opposition launched demonstrations on April 9.
Mitchell said the current situation can be described as a low level crisis. It has the potential to develop into a bigger crisis.
"Both the government and opposition should work to avoid that," the expert said. "Not just through dialog but by actions on both sides."
He said goals of Georgian opposition are not realistic. "Better goal would be not a change of government but for the current government to change," Mitchell said.
He said the dialogue between government and opposition is important and healthy, but it is not sufficient. "The government needs to support dialog with concrete actions which should be the fruits of the dialogue," Mitchell said.
