Georgia is dying, Georgia is disappearing – Saakashvili

Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, has said for the first time in years that he would come to Georgia “regardless of the consequences, as this is the line beyond which we are losing our homeland,” according to Georgia Online.

“For the first time in years, I said I would come, regardless of the circumstances. Who likes or dislikes and who threatens me with what… For the first time in my life I have said that now it has reached the border beyond which we lose our homeland. In previous years, everything went in a way that was not yet a critical situation. Now the situation is so critical that there is no time for other agreements. Let’s win first, let many people come out first, what will happen will happen. Now we have to, there is no other way out. Georgia is dying, Georgia is disappearing from the map. We all notice that situation, our country is in a very difficult situation,” Saakashvili said.

To the question, how right his decision to leave Georgia in 2012 was, Saakashvili answered that he was emotionally tired, he wanted to calm down from the “Georgian situation”. He said his return to Georgia, despite the fact that he has friendly relations with many foreign partners, he is not going to hide behind anyone, including European parliamentarians.
