Tea Tsulukiani calls on Mikheil Saakashvili to 'serve his sentence', calls him 'criminal'
The Minister of Culture, Tea Tsulukiani responded to the so-called Magnitsky list analogy that Mikheil Saakashvili's lawyer has been working on and said that "they can create these lists and keep them in the drawer."
"We were not afraid of the so-called list when they told us that they will catch you, arrest you, put you in prison, nobody would shake their hand when they told us, the members of the National Movement of Georgia and their criminal leader, who is now fully deservedly imprisoned in a two-chamber cell and still has audacity. Back then we were not afraid, because we knew that we were fighting for the truth. Now they can compile these lists, then read them carefully and keep them in one of their drawers," said Tsulukiani.
She called on the imprisoned ex-president, Mikheil Saakashvili to serve his sentence.
"Now, if Mikheil Saakashvili is listening, I will tell you that you can not do anything bad. You are a criminal, you are sitting where you should be sitting and please serve the sentence that was sentenced to you by the independent, impartial and reformed court of Georgia," Tsulukiani said.
