In 2008, former commander-in-chief Saakashvili showed unprecedented cowardice, breaking all records of cowardice in the history of mankind

According to Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, during the August 2008 war, the third president broke "all records of cowardice" in the history of mankind. According to Garibashvili, "this traitorous" group should not teach the Georgian Dream to love the country today.

"We remember with sadness the numerous examples of heroism of our heroes, our soldiers during the August war, the unparalleled heroism shown by our military in the August war and the unprecedented cowardice shown by the former Commander-in-Chief" We remember him very well. So a person who committed such cowardice, the traitorous and radical group, should not be teaching us how to love our country" - said Irakli Garibashvili.

According to him, the Georgian government spoke strongly and very clearly on the first day of the war and expressed unprecedented support for Ukraine.
