Mikheil Saakashvili: Buba Kikabidze is not only a singer or actor, he is a very important public figure, a politician in a good sense and, most importantly, a great Georgian patriot

Buba Kikabidze is Georgia's trademark all over the world, especially in the post-Soviet space, - former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili wrote on his Facebook page.

According to Saakashvili, Buba Kikabidze is an important public figure and a great Georgian patriot.

"The whole brigade of admirers of soviet Russia declared Buba Kikabidze as an agent of the enemy and a representative of the occupant. In fact, Buba Kikabidze is Georgia's trademark all over the world, especially in the post-Soviet space. He is not only a singer or actor, he is a very important public figure, a politician in a good sense and, most importantly, a great Georgian patriot. Buba Kikabidze's response to all these attacks is his song, which he wrote in 2008 and with which he finally distanced himself from the Russian so-called liberal intelligentsia," Mikheil Saakashvili wrote.

The comments come days after singer Buba Kikabidze was named as the first number on the electoral list of the National Movement - Power in Unity.
