Youth parliament - Georgia

Preface

When Mikheil Saakashvili assumed Georgia's presidency in 2004, beating down the doors of parliament and the corrupt pentagenarians behind them, he brought with him a team of young supporters. Three years later, they are running the country. Their ranks include minister of defence Davit Kezerashvili, 29; minister of finance Aleksi Aleksishvili, 33; and a host of other ministers, deputy ministers, and parliamentarians, many in their late twenties.
