Zaza Gakheladze has been released from the custody of the occupation regime and is already in the territory controlled by the central government of Georgia.

He crossed the so-called border in Ergneti a few minutes ago, where he was met by Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili and Minister of Internal Affairs Vakhtang Gomelauri.

"I'm fine. I did not really expect that to happen. Thanks to God, thanks to our patriarch and our government, everything ended well," Gakheladze said.
