Representatives of the Georgian authorities commented on the statement of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, who calls for Tbilisi to transfer the ex-president of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili for treatment abroad.
On the eve of the President of Ukraine, he called on Georgian authorities to “make a decision to save life” Saakashvili – transfer him to one of the clinics of Ukraine, Europe or America.
According to the deputy from the ruling party “Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia” Givi Mikabadze, “the authorities of Ukraine have become a kind of refuge for the former high -ranking officials of the” single national movement. “He noted that people who are lobbyists of the former work in Ukraine’s leadership. The ruling party of Georgia created by Saakashvili, Georgian media write.
The head of the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights, Mikhail Sargveladze also believes that Zelensky may not be well -informed on this issue.
And the head of the Opposition Georgian Party “Citizens” Alexander Elisashvili believes that the Ukrainian leader is trying to intervene in the internal affairs of Georgia. “For me, it doesn’t look quite adequate when the president of one country calls on the leadership of another country to free a specific prisoner, despite the fact that Saakashvili has Ukrainian citizenship. It is all a little like interference in the country’s internal affairs,” Elisashvili is unhappy.
A deputy from the party “Agnibeli Strategy” Paata Manzhgalaladze shares Zelensky anxiety. “You can’t joke with health and life. This should not be a topic for speculation. I share the concern of Zelensky. Saakashvili should provide the possibility of treatment abroad,” said Manzhgalaladze.
