Batumi
Residents of Batumi are irritated with one of the streets of the city named after Nurettin Charmiklin, the designer of Sheraton hotel.
Previously President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, said that man was the first to believe in Georgia and to create a beacon of development and democracy here.
Talking about the businessman, the President noticed "in childhood in Georgia he [Charmeklin] saw only Soviet projectors". "Now this border is open, but when we first entered this hotel, on behalf of the government of independent Georgia I gave Nurettin Charmeklin a rusty projector," Saakashvili said.
The Georgian leader reminded about the relatively new tradition to name streets after prominent living people, and drew George Bush-jr, the ex-President of the USA, as an example.
