Expert-Psychiatrist David Goldsmith says Mikheil Saakashvili has dementia and PTSD, requires treatment in the US or Western Europe
American expert-psychiatrist Eric David Goldsmith stated that the third president of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili has dementia and post-traumatic stress disorder.
According to the expert, taking into account the reports, there is no basis for simulation.
"In August, I used to talk to him for a long time in the morning and in the evening. I spoke to his mother and uncle, read reports from other medical experts and they all found the same thing - dementia and PTSD. No basis for simulation or forgery," he added.
The expert also answered the question about treatment possibilities in Georgia. According to him, Saakashvili cannot be in prison.
"It's very clear that if he has post-traumatic stress disorder, he is directly exposed to the trauma that causes it every day in prison, so he can't be sitting in a prison cell to deal with this issue.
As for the dementia associated with exposure to these toxic substances, the treatment of this requires an appropriate site, a university setting that exists only in the US or Western Europe and has the appropriate expertise to fully assess and treat such a rare form of dementia," said Goldsmith.
President Macron says Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova should be guaranteed security
According to President of France Emmanuel Macron, security guarantees should be extended to Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Armenia in addition to Ukraine and Russia.
"When I talk about guarantees, I'm talking about all these countries, about us, but also about Russia," said Macron in an interview with WSJ.
At the same time, Macron noted that Ukraine's victory must be codified in a new agreement that will ensure the political stability and security of this region and Europe in general.
According to the French president, Europe needs to play a strong role in NATO. According to Macron, Europe needs to reduce its dependence on the US and develop its own defense capabilities in order to ensure peace in the region.
