According to the chairman of the Georgian Dream, Irakli Kobakhidze, the third president is "pretending" and trying to escape from prison. According to him, the grounds for releasing Mikhail Saakashvili or transferring him to another country "will not be self-mutilation or anything like that."
"He pretends and attempts to somehow escape from prison through deceit. Naturally, this is ruled out. Therefore, no deceit , self-mutilation or anything like that will achieve anything, I say that very clearly and firmly. It will not achieve his release, his transfer abroad or even house arrest.
This man with these mental problems has been president for a long time, he is in prison today and will naturally remain in prison. I don't know if his mental problems will escalate, he may need to be transferred to a psychiatric hospital, but this man, before, managed to be president with these mental problems, and I think he can manage to be a prisoner as well ", Kobakhidze said.
