They say that if we do not release Saakashvili, we will not be given status, is this normal? Are these European values?

"Europe and European values, I think there is nothing better today. I have lived in Europe for years and I know very well what Europe is, what democracy is, what European values are, freedom of speech and expression, but when we are called by our so-called friends to actions that are against the law, actions that are absolutely against the constitution, that we release a specific prisoner who has committed specific crimes against our country and our people, of course, these statements are categorically unacceptable. Here, in essence, we are talking about the fact that if we do not release Mikheil Saakashvili, then they will make a decision and will not give us the status of candidate, now I ask you, is this normal?! Is this vocabulary, these approaches normal?! Do you consider this vocabulary, these approaches, these attitudes normal?! These are European and democratic values?! This is how we want to build our country?!"
