PM Gharibashvili says he does not take responsibility for Saakashvili's life
Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili to the journalist's question whether he accepts responsibility as the Prime Minister for Saakashvili's life, answered that he can not take responsibility for the life of any person.
"Our lives are entrusted to God, I cannot really be responsible for the life of any person... Our lives and destiny are entrusted to God. So, we can all do the right thing," he said.
"I have heard a lot that Mr. Saakashvili is depressed and does not like the environment. Which prisoner likes the prison environment?
I am not a doctor, Mr. Rati Bregadze came out and made a public offer to bring any doctor from any country, any clinic and treat him on the spot. They do not want to be treated in Georgia, their only goal is to release Saakashvili," said the Prime Minister.
Papuashvili calls on Saakashvili's friends to not 'interfere' in court's activities
Speaker of the Parliament Shalva Papuashvili called on the third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili's friends "both inside and outside the country not to interfere in the court's activities"
According to Papuashvili, he hopes that at least in this case everyone will refrain from "unnecessary statements and pressure" on the court.
"First of all, Georgia is a legal state and decisions are made through legal procedures. The court makes a decision and everyone must respect the decision. I once again call on Saakashvili's friends both inside and outside the country not to interfere in the court's activities.
This is the minimum elementary principle of the legal state. We have seen attempts to intervene before, and I hope that in this case they will refrain from making unnecessary statements and putting pressure on the court," said Shalva Papuashvili.
According to Shalva Papuashvili, the announcement of rallies demanding the transfer of Mikheil Saakashvili abroad for medical treatment means that the "United National Movement" is completely missing the interest of the Georgian people.
