Patriarch addresses Mikheil Saakashvili with a letter

I came to Mr. Mikheil Saakashvili again with the blessing of His Holiness, I have a letter to hand over to him, - said the Secretary of the Patriarch, Archpriest Mikael Botkoveli, who arrived at the Rustavi Prison.

"The contents of the letter are about his principled position on the hunger strike. I would like to convey this letter and inquire about him on behalf of His Holiness. It is His Holiness's request and advice to end the hunger strike", - Botkoveli said.

He also noted that Patriarch can not ask Salome Zurabishvili to pardon Mikheil Saakashvili, as the right to do so belongs to the country's president.
