Saakashvili must prove his innocence in Georgia

This day Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk has resigned from that high state post. At least the worst prime minister in the history of Ukrainian state alleged own resignation! His two governments will remain in society’s memory like a period with corruption scandals, large increasing of utilities’ tariffs for population, huge depreciation of Ukrainian currency, two anti national state budget (for 2015 and 2016 years) and series of anti people’s laws, such as new 18% tax from every salary to state treasury, etc. Nowadays several politicians are debated  in the country’s media for the post of new head of Cabinet of the Ministers of Ukraine and, probably, the most contradictory candidate for the chief of Ukrainian government is Mikheil Saakashvili, ex-President of Georgia (2003-2013) and present Head of Odesa Regional State Administration.
M. Saakashvili has great ambitions to lead government in Ukraine, though yet in December of 2014 he declared the impossibility to be state man in Ukraine because of his unwillingness to lose Georgian citizenship in the case of his getting Ukrainian citizenship and his appointment on any Ukrainian state post. But on 13th February 2015 Saakashvili was assigned the Head of newly-created Advice International Council of Reforms of Ukraine by President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. Further, on 30th May 2015 former Georgian president was appointed the Head of Odesa Regional State Administration by Poroshenko, who gave him Ukrainian citizenship the day before. Logically, present Georgian state power officially deprived M. Saakashvili of Georgian citizenship on 4th December 2015. So this situation surely demonstrates Saakashvili’s declarations as hollow promises and shows him like real liar.
And instead of dreaming about the post of Ukrainian Prime Minister, Saakashvili needs to prove his innocence in his native Georgia. Because after the defeat at Georgian presidential elections in October of 2013 Mikheil Saakashvili moved abroad, being yet Georgia’s president and not waiting the inauguration of newly-elected President of Georgia George Merabishvili. Obviously, Saakashvili did Saasuch political steps, because soon new Georgian state power prosecuted four criminal deals against him for: the organization of beating Georgian ex-people’s deputy Valeriy Gelashvili in 2005; the exceeding of his state power during the inquiry of the murder of Georgian banker Sandro Guirgvliani in 2006 and during the breaking up oppositional meeting in Tbilisi on 7th November 2007; the embezzlement of 3.7 million of state money during 2009-2012; the appropriation of “Imedi” Georgian TV-channel. Of course, neither Ukrainian judges nor Ukrainian society can’t be justice in these criminal deals and can’t say if this is political persecution against M. Saakshvili in Georgia or he is guilty indeed. But why did ex-president of Georgia refuse to participate even in on-line Georgian trial via Skype on 28th April 2015, as Tbilisi court had proposed him? Why is M. Saakashvili is afraid of Georgian justice, if he reformed Georgia, as it had been talking about during his presidency’s years? If his presidential team really had made democratic reforms in the system of justice in Georgian country, so there wasn’t any necessity to escape from Georgian judges. Moreover, there is no death penalty in Georgia, so when M. Saakashvili is innocent, he hasn’t reasons to avoid Georgian trial. Except it, Mikheil Saakashvili even didn’t appeal to European Court of Human Rights to bring suit against the accusations of Georgian state power during last two years of his persecution. That’s why he cannot any right to criticize Ukraine’s economics or people’s life, or Ukrainian politicians, but he must be responsible towards Georgian nation to evince persuasive evidences of his fairness as politician to Georgians and to whole world.
