Mikheil Saakashvili: I think the government in Georgia will change in any case this year, I have crazy support

I think the government in Georgia will change in any case this year, - former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said in an interview with Deutsche Welle.

According to him, he has great support in Georgia.

"I think the government will change in Georgia this year in any case. They stole the election, but then the Europeans intervened. An agreement has been reached, which is far from perfect, but which opens the issue of a referendum, practically a change of government this autumn. Therefore, I think that I and my political force will prepare ourselves, we will finish the case and we are not going to give them the right to destroy the country", - Saakashvili said.

Asked whether the Georgian government could treat him like the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the ex-president said it was possible.

"Yes, but unlike Russia, the Georgian people are sufficiently mobilized. I just have crazy support. I actually consider Navalny a hero. There is no such support in Russia yet, but such support will come if he survives", - Saakashvili said.
