The third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, calls the statement of his teammate, Gia Baramidze, "complete nonsense" and states that Baramidze should provide a more detailed explanation.

At the same time, Saakashvili accuses the ruling team and part of the opposition of hypocrisy because of their positions towards the fifth president, Salome Zurabishvili.

He emphasizes that the Hague court has finally ruled out the commission of crimes by the Georgian side in the 2008 war.

"The utter nonsense spoken by my oldest friend, Gia Baramidze, was really not pleasant to anyone and Gia deserves a more detailed explanation to those people who were sincerely offended, but in addition to the regime's initiation of a criminal case over the statement, which they recalled 10 days later to cover up our successful congress, the excitement of those "oppositionists" who, just a short while ago, were calling this shameful woman and true enemy of Georgia an unconditional leader and savior of the Georgian people, and were raising her, is more incomprehensible. All kinds of hypocrisy have a limit and everyone should look into themselves.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague has long since exposed the lies of the Russians and their Salome, when it clearly stated in its conclusion that the Georgian side did not violate the laws of war. (And the bombing of the innocent population, which the traitors accuse us of, is precisely a war crime)", - Mikheil Saakashvili writes on Facebook.
