According to Nika Melia, Chairman of the United National Movement, he "did not take seriously" the statement of the Prosecutor's Office, according to which they is ready to apply to the court to change the measure of detention if Nika Melia pays the bail.

Nika Melia's statement was spread by Pirveli TV, according to which, the accused politician sent a letter to the TV station from the penitentiary institution.

“They said they were ready to apply to the court for my release. I did not even take it seriously, I laughed at it. I do not regret for a moment what I did.

I joined this fight in 2014. Victory could not even be seen on the horizon then, and there were moments when despair overcame optimism, but each challenge and resistance strengthened me. And now, I firmly believe that victory is very close. The most important thing is for everyone to believe in our abilities and believe in a victory that is very close," said Nika Melia.
