But we cannot rely on foreign help indefinitely.

I was a member of the Politburo for seven years, a foreign minister.

I believe that with the help of foreign countries - and under that condition only, because they have no other source of financing - the new government may temporarily extricate Georgia from the current situation.

We cannot wish for that we know not.

We do not believe in immortality because we can prove it, but we try to prove it because we cannot help believing it.

We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
