There are many mistakes that I regret very much. First and foremost, this court," Mikheil Saakashvili said during the ongoing trial at Tbilisi City Court, in which the third president makes a statement.
Mikheil Saakashvili said he had made "more than enough" mistakes during his rule, although Georgia had no guilty president:
"It was a mistake that we failed to create an independent court, it affected many of my compatriots, and now it affects me and I apologize to everyone who was affected, as well as all the other mistakes you accidentally touched, I apologize again but mistakes and misdeeds are one thing, and crime is another. I am Mikheil Saakashvili and there has never been a guilty president in Georgia. I want every Georgian to know this. The founder of the Georgian state could not have been guilty," Mikheil Saakashvili said.
