According to the Speaker of the Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, the former Minister of Defense, Davit Kezerashvili, a few months before the August war, "stole millions from the Georgian army, and probably with these millions he used to buy diamonds and jewelry towards the end of the August war."

As Papuashvili told the journalists, Davit Kezerashvili's "people of morality were yesterday who applauded the foreigners who came to Rustaveli Avenue to "teach intelligence" to the Georgian people".

"Davit Kezerashvili is a person who has asylum in the European Union, he can move freely in the territory of the European Union and Great Britain. We should remember this every time we heard the statement of British or EU diplomats on the issues of democracy and rule of law in Georgia. Before these people talk about the democratic and legal state in Georgia, the first thing that is within their competence and what question they have to answer is why do they hide an international criminal in their own territory? A person who stole millions from the Georgian army a few months before the August war, and apparently bought diamonds and jewelry with these exact millions towards the end of the August war. He bought these diamonds on August 12, when Georgian soldiers were abandoned on the battlefield. While the Georgian Church was busy bringing dead soldiers from the battlefield, Defense Minister Kezerashvili was buying diamonds for the army with the stolen money. Today, Kezerashvili's television, his sponsored parties "National Movement", Gvaramia's party, his sponsored non-governmental organizations, "Shame Movement", which is simultaneously financed by the European Union and financed by Kezerashvili, these people are talking to us today about Georgia and its European future. People who amassed wealth with the money of the Georgian army. When they had to take care of getting the dead soldiers out of the battlefield, they bought diamonds. There are people of Kezerashvili's morality today in the opposition, in all parties, on their television and in their NGOs. It was people of this morality yesterday who applauded the foreigners who came to Rustaveli Avenue to "teach wisdom" to the Georgian people. Their position and status is not important," said Papuashvili.
