A hundreds of supporters of Saakashvili gathered near the courthouse. No media was admitted to the meeting, except for public television of Georgia.
Speaking at the trial in the case of November 7 (overclocking the opposition rally in November 2007), the former president of Georgia stated: “I had more than enough mistakes. There are many mistakes that I am very sorry. First, My mistake is a court. Error that we did not create an independent judicial system, touched on very many of my partners, and now she affects me, and I apologize to everyone who was touched, as well as for all the other mistakes that you touched Unintentionally. “
Speaking about the events of 2008 and your departure from Tbilisi, Saakashvili said: “You know, in 2008, when the Russians told me through the French, Sarkozy and Americans that the next morning they will enter Tbilisi, I need my family It was immediately to leave Georgia. They bombed to it and counted with the land of Pochetyari airport, which we then restored, and now he is completely different. They bombed the territory around Batumi Airport, even Tbilisi Airport. The only thing that they did not bomb, is Tbilisi International Airport And the only reason why they did not bomb is an ultimatum, according to which Saakashvili had to jump into the plane and escape somewhere abroad along with his relatives. “
According to him, only two or three minutes went to make a decision: “You know what I thought at the time. I remembered that in 1921, when the Bolshevik Army entered Tbilisi, the Georgian government went first in Batumi , then to Istanbul, and then to France. I also had many times in the estate of Levil, which they bought where they lived. I know that in 10, 20, 30, 40 years after this older departure was already sitting and disassembered these Old stories about Georgia, which they could never see in life again. I thought I would never get into such a situation. For me, departure from Tbilisi meant the entrance of the Russian troops in Tbilisi and waving the Russian flag in Tbilisi. This was the content of ultimatum . Under similar circumstances, the president left the capital of Afghanistan and then another force came. My favorite president, Ronald Reagan, said that we are always in one generation from the loss of our independence, and I want to say with sadness that today is probably exactlyThe time when this is what happens in front of our eyes. This is an objective reality, “the words Saakashvili leads the Georgian Channel One.
