"Do you not miss the sense of pride in your country?" - Mikheil Saakashvili's addresses to the people, from the courtroom

Mikheil Saakashvili began his speech in court by addressing the Georgian population. He greeted the supporters that gathered in protest, and the people

"I want to ask you a question. For several days I was moved around Georgia freely, I had an opportunity to talk to people before I was taken prisoner and I saw that people are very upset, people are very sad, they practically do not smile, people are very unhappy. I want to tell you, my dear Georgian people, I want to ask you if you miss being proud of your country? Don't you miss the pace and drive of development? Don't you miss the novelty and reconstruction? Don't you miss the love and warmth? Don't you miss the celebration of victory? And if you miss all that, then what's happening now, we need to end it all together," said the third president.
