TBILISI, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia announced his resignation on Thursday.
Gakharia said in a statement that he decided to step down because he could not reach an agreement with the ruling party over the arrest warrant issued against Nika Melia, a parliament member and head of the United National Movement opposition party.
He believed it was wrong to arrest Melia when there is a danger of political escalation in the country.
