According to the organizers, the rally will start at 18:00 in Freedom Square.

"We have to gather in Tbilisi on October 14, at 6:00 p.m. We must hold the largest rally for the last 10 years. What is the main reason for the gathering - it is the duty of the National Movement to ensure that Mikheil Saakashvili is where he should be. This is an absolutely open rally and we invite everyone to let the whole world and the international community see and understand that we do not let Bidzina Ivanishvili to arrest whoever he wants and brainwashes him with his dirty propaganda. Therefore, we must take this rally seriously, "Melia said on October 9.
