Address by Mikheil Saakashvili to Bachana Shengelia

Georgia's third president Mikheil Saakashvili addresses Bachana Shengelia. The address is spread on Mikheil Saakashvili's official Facebook page.

I would like to address Bachana Shengelia from Rustavi prison cell where every day the whole system with the help of Putin-Ivanishvili conducts an operation for my physical destruction. I don't know how much of my life is left. My Bachana, I understand you all the way. Ia kerzaia is an icon for all of us. We will never forget her, for she is a symbol of nobility, of non-conformism, of patriotism.

I want you to understand me correctly, Bachana. I, too, have many questions about yesterday's decision. At the same time, should we join forces with the people at whose hands I once died in the Gldani concentration camp if they go against Putin and his apostle Ivanishvili tomorrow or not?

All over the world, such regimes are defeated not by a multitude of disparate parties, but by a united front. So, all against one is the formula of early elections and the victory of the people... and when democracy is restored in Georgia, then we need to create something like a South African Truth Commission and establish the whole truth.

Therefore, let us all think that if Imedi went out of its mind over Zugdidi, then the Dream has held several special sessions. This means that the main enemy of our country is very angry. Who is the main evil today. The one who ruined and expelled our people, Ivanishvili and his current political ambitions are surrendering the country to Russia. Let's first save the country from its current atrocities and then take care of the rest.

I will never give up my values, because of them I am where I am and I have cast my life aside," - Mikheil Saakashvili wrote.
