We have certainly had a lot of mistakes, inaccuracies and misinformation in previous resolutions as well. The phrasing of this resolution presents the situation as if Mikheil Saakashvili was exiled from his homeland. But we know what our recent history, recent history is, that Mikheil Saakashvili fled Georgia, we know that the Georgian and not only the Georgian justice has recognized him as guilty of committing crimes" - Papuashvili said.
