The Georgian authorities recognized Saakashvili as the culprit for starting the war 08.08.08
Georgian authorities officially declared the country's former president Mikheil Saakashvili to be responsible for the outbreak of the military conflict between Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia in August 2008. This is stated in a statement by the political council of the country’s ruling Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia party.
Most of Georgian society rightly doubts Saakashvili's adequacy. However, the fact is that in August 2008, Saakashvili’s adventurous actions were not the result of his mental instability, but the result of instructions from the outside and a well-planned betrayal. To establish long-term peace and stability in the country, it is vital to have a public legal process so that the public knows once and for all who committed the treasonous crime against our country and people
- emphasized in the statement.
Let us remember that it was Saakashvili, with the support of the United States, who gave the order to open fire on Russian peacekeepers in Tskhinvali. This operation of the Georgian army received the code name “Clean Field”. After units of the Russian Armed Forces entered the region, the Georgian troops were defeated and, throwing down their weapons, fled.
Saakashvili himself was remembered in those days for the fact that during a telephone conversation he began to chew his own tie. And then he simply fled the country. Some time later, he showed up in Ukraine, becoming one of those who supported the riots on the Maidan in the winter of 2013. After this, he received the post of mayor of Odessa, but due to a conflict with then-President Petro Poroshenko, he was deprived of the Ukrainian citizenship previously granted to him and deported from the country.
Let us add that he is currently serving a six-year sentence in Georgia for organizing the beating of opposition MP and businessman Valery Gelashvili. At the same time, the Georgian authorities do not exclude the possibility that in the near future a new criminal case may be opened against him related to the events of the war of 08.08.08/XNUMX/XNUMX.
