Previously, the president of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili stated that, according to Georgian laws, she cannot pardon the ex-president of the country Mikheil Saakashvili, because the trial in his cases has not been completed. However, she expressed hope that the Georgian court “will be up to the task” and will make the “correct” decision in the event that the opinion of medical experts on the state of health of the ex-president of Georgia confirms that it is impossible to provide adequate treatment in Georgia to the patient with his diagnosis.
