'If it was poisoning, there are traces of a foreign state that considers my son an enemy' Mikheil Saakashvili's mother says

Mikheil Saakashvili's mother, Giuli Alasania, said that her son does not accuse Georgians or the Georgian government of poisoning. At the same time, he notes that if there was a similar poisoning, there are traces of a hostile state.

Giuli Alasania made a statement in front of 'Vivamed Clinic', where Saakashvili is undergoing medical treatment.

"My son does not blame the Georgians and the Georgian authorities for poisoning him. If the fatal poisoning really took place, here are the traces and style of the foreign state that considers my son an enemy. These tests were done in America by the best laboratory, in California, which is considered the number one laboratory. The test was also done the best by toxicologists. They are very careful about their reputation. In any case, this is a provocation against the Georgian state," Alasania said.

In addition, she urges not to use ex-president Saakashvili's situation for political speculation and to exercise restraint.



Center Empathy is connected with UNM, credibility is zero, Irakli Kobakhidze says

Chairman of Georgian Dream, Irakli Kobakhidze, responded to the medical report prepared by the Empathy center about Mikheil Saakashvili, and said that the organization is "connected with The United National Movement" party, and according to him, therefore the center's "credibility is zero":

"Firstly, as for the 'Empathy' Center itself, it is directly related to The National Movement, which its leader never hid. Therefore, the credibility is zero, this organization is biased as usual. Secondly, it should be mentioned what is such an illness that leads to the release of the prisoner, which other prisoners do not have. As for the list itself, any prisoner or non-prisoner can have such a list. That is, certain types of illnesses are experienced by practically everyone. Therefore, such a list does not mean anything by itself," said Kobakhidze.
