The third president of Georgia calls on citizens to unite in the fight against the current authorities. "Changes must happen as soon as possible, and we must win the elections even before the elections," wrote Mikheil Saakashvili in a Facebook post:
"We need to dispel the illusion that some event, for example, the denial of candidate status in the EU, will occur, and an unknown youth will protest again... First of all, I believe that Georgia will be granted status for geopolitical reasons, which will not change anything in the daily lives of Georgians. Secondly, we should not count on a mythical youth protest..."
Georgia is a conquered and imprisoned country. The process of conquest began in 2012 when Russia gained control of the country's central government, and now we are in the final stage of this conquest process. Russia has its own governor-general in Georgia - Ivanishvili, who does what he learned in Russia, makes us watch spectacles, fuels disputes between the president and the government, contributes to the formation of multiple factions within the opposition, constantly blackmails America and Europe... Ivanishvili and the Russians play on greed and make money, they also play on the small and big ambitions and create false illusions for individual opposition figures that they can achieve what no one else has achieved, but for this, they need to distance themselves from others and regularly condemn them."
The restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and Armenia's shift towards the West have disrupted Russia's main paradigm in the South Caucasus, continues the former president:
"Russia no longer has the support of any of the three countries in the Caucasus, so regardless of what the talking heads of the opposition say, I am already here, and I intend to actively engage in uniting all decent people, including actively recruiting new people. I have learned a lot from my personnel mistakes, and in prison, I have clearly seen who is who, and I intend not only to free myself but to free the entire country from imprisonment," Saakashvili wrote on Facebook.
