Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili addressed the diplomatic corps, opposition leaders and supporters at her residence in Tbilisi in honor of the republic's Independence Day.

Zurabishvili invited the leaders of pro-Western and pro-European parties to sign this charter and join forces to win the elections. She stressed that preparations for the elections must be peaceful.
"This is not the time for infighting between opposition parties and political ambitions. Therefore, I decided to present an action plan - the “Georgian Charter”, around which I propose to unite pro-European political parties," she said.

Zurabishvili's plan calls for early parliamentary elections that will be truly "free and fair" after the victory of the opposition forces in the elections in October
