Saakashvili offered jackets for the democracy benefit

For a long time the ex-president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili travels all over the world as entrance home is ordered to him: he will be taken not to the palace, but in a jail of court to wait. But if earlier about it spoke as though for fun, now, seemingly, all in Georgia understood that this case got a serious turn. Still: the prosecutor’s office of Georgia began procedure according to Saakashvili’s announcement in the international search.
And the statement was made by prosecutor’s office after unruly Saakashvili who seeks to remind all of his existence, reported on the page in Facebook that recently was in Turkey, absolutely near the Georgian-Turkish border. On video placed on a page, Saakashvili acts, behind his back it is possible to see a check point on border. Here the prosecutor’s office also addressed in the Interpol about Saakashvili’s announcement in search …
We will remind that Mikheil Saakashvili is made responsible even on one charge — waste of public funds; it is in addition to a heap of the previous. Waste makes about 5 million dollars. Money was spent by special service of the state protection of Georgia according to instructions of the ex-president. Where is the money? It is claimed that the money was spent on services of the cook, the masseur, hotel in which the foreign guests lived, yacht rent in Italy and so on. Saakashvili faces from 7 to 11 years of imprisonment for that.
The prosecutor’s office of Georgia already called Saakashvili on interrogation on ten (!) cases at once. Among them — the case of mysterious death of the prime minister Zurab Zhvania in 2005, case of action dispersal on November 7, 2007, case of revolt on military base in Mukhrovani in 2009, defeat of TV company «Imedi» and an illegal taking property of the businessman Badri Patarkatsishvili.
Not the lawyer, however, began to protect Saakashaili, but the best friends of the main democrat of the former Soviet Union — the American senators. The Tabula magazine in August printed the letter to the prime minister of Georgia Garibashvili (by the way, why not to the general prosecutor?!) from John McCain’s American senators (how without him?!) Gene Shakhin, Jim Riesch and Marko Rubio. With what the transatlantic legislators were excited?
Senators rendered the verdict at once:
- We call the prime minister Garibashvili and other leaders of Georgia to concentrate on the future, but not on the past, and to conduct the country forward, but not back. It is almost impossible to understand as prosecution concerning most of the former representatives of the government compatibly for this purpose … The leadership of Georgia has to think of the direction in which it conducts the country well.
Later two more senators were connected to process: Chris Murphy and Rona Johnson:
- As supporters of the Euro-Atlantic integration of Georgia, we urge the leadership of Georgia to use resources for strengthening of institutions, economic growth and an important issue of reforming of judicial system. When Georgia is faced by important calls, the country instead of searches in the past has to unite round focusing on the future.
In other words, the main guardians for democracy around the world explained in the bird’s language that Mikheil Saakashvili has to be the inviolable figure. It was necessary to answer the prime minister Garibashvili politely. Here, about what he told:
- I agree that process of promotion of charges of the relation of the former high-ranking officials has to be carried out without any errors, and all cases have to be investigated fairly, transparent and impartial. I understand and divide excitement that these charges can be apprehended as political prosecution, and it can have impact on internal political stability and foreign policy of Georgia. Sincerely I ask to watch these trials and to arrive to Georgia directly to be present at the process course. I urge you to study the current trials which till this time were highly appreciated by the international observers to be convinced that the trial of the accused passed with observance of the law.
Support of our western partners is decisive in order that in Georgia the transparent and impartial judicial system worked. I thank you for your advices, for consecutive, long and firm support of my government and the Georgian people, despite the fact who is in power. I hope, as in the future you will share your critical opinions and, at the same time, express readiness in common them to solve.
Certainly, also Saakashvili couldn’t keep silent. In the same Facebook he declared everything for the whole world:
- They didn’t find billions appropriated by me as I never appropriated even kopeks, on the contrary — increased the budget of Georgia by 11 times. They didn’t prove any crime because I didn’t commit a crime, and on the contrary lowered crime almost to zero, and at the end brought me purely political charge.
Then he developed a subject, having opened truth that is called in final instance. Saakashvili called the main political opponent Bidzina Ivanishvili «the main private shareholder of Gazprom». And criminal case against him, appears, is started by the present Georgian authorities by request of Russia. Here about what the ex-president told on air of popular TV company «Rustavi 2»:
- In this case the interests of the Russian oligarch (it is a question, of course, about Ivanishvili) coincided with interests of Russia. Ivanishvili is the major private shareholder of «Gazprom» and before anniversary of August war Putin couldn’t imagine more desired gift as the order of government bodies of Georgia on my arrest. Those people who gave this order today, will terminate also as Yanukovych and his allies.
Saakashvili not only revealed terrible secrets, but also explained that he is such important person on a global scale that if something happens to him, it is right there reflected in global policy:
- For the first time I was detained still by KGB for my political activity at the time of the Soviet Union when I was the student of the 1st course of university. After that the Soviet Union soon broke up. Then I was declared the person «non grata» by Victor Yanukovych, and in two months he was put on the international wanted list. Now Putin all last period demands my murder or arrest. And the affairs of Putin are not really well …
Having told all truth to the world, the retired Georgian president decided that it is necessary to support words with affairs. Probably, long thought what to make? And thought up: the courier delivered to the building of administration of the government a parcel from Saakashvili’s family. There was an outerwear and a note of the following contents: «Mister Ivanishvili, I return it to you for use at a personal discretion». This story ended with that the patrol force sent jackets and a coat of mister Mikheil Saakashvili to Bureau of the lost things.
Though it wasn’t succeeded to establish was the well-known crumpled tie there…
