📍 In 2008, Georgian Ambassador to Russia Eros Kitsmarishvili tried to convince Saakashvili to avoid war, but he failed - Fridon Injia

🔹 If it wasn't for Mikheil Saakashvili, Georgia would have avoided war and loss of territories in 2008. The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia stated this on the live broadcast of "Georgian Times" radio, speaking about the recognition of Saakashvili as a victim by the Ukrainian prosecutor's office. According to Fridon Injia, today the topic of Mikheil Saakashvili is raised too much, because he is "the main actor in the disaster that befell Georgia in 2008".

🔹 "We are pushing this issue too much, as far as Saakashvili is concerned. The person who caused the disaster that is present in Georgia in 2008, and he is the main actor. As for whether Ukraine recognized him as a victim or not, before that it was better to see that he is wanted by Georgia, and he was convicted. How is it that they didn't see it and now they see that Saakashvili's rights have been violated? If it is violated, compared to Saakashvili, the rights of 9,500 prisoners have been violated, and no one remembers this. "Today, there is no TV channel that does not ask about Saakashvili's health, what he eats, what he drinks, how he sleeps... This is done by the people who are assigned to do this," said the deputy.

🔹 On the journalist's question - if it wasn't for Saakashvili, the war and the loss of territories would have gone beyond Georgia, Fridon Injia said: "With 1000%! At that time, the Georgian ambassador to Russia was Eros Kitsmarishvili. He arrived in Georgia about 15-20 days before, went to Saakashvili and told him that there is a great danger and we should not dare to do what Saakashvili had in mind. After leaving Saakashvili, he came to me, we were friends recently, we were very close. There were two other people with us, however, I don't want to name their names... Eros Kitsmarishvili was worried, he didn't know what to do, the person was crying and saying that he has decided this way and we will die... This is the first time I am saying this... Well, he was screaming, he is going to do it and I couldn't find anything. He had information, he was an ambassador and possessed information, he came from Moscow to prevent Saakashvili from doing this, but what happened happened." - said Fridon Injia.
