from Georgia`s third president Mikheil Saakashvili and his return to the country on September 10.

Yuri Derevantov, compared President Petro Poroshenko to Viktor Yanukovich
and accused him of authoritarianism.

According to the MP, Ukraine has ratified the International Covenant, according to which no one should be deprived of his right to return to his country.

He also pointed out that Poroshenko should strengthen the Eastern border of the country, because the main enemy is there, in Russia.

"Mr. President, our enemy is on the eastern border of Russia. We are not going to cross the state border or violate the law. The International Covenant ratified by Ukraine provides for civil and political rights: no one shall be deprived of their right to return to their country. Mikheil Saakashvili is a citizen of Ukraine who lives permanently on the territory of Ukraine. He can not be deprived of the right to return back home. This is not just Saakashvili and Poroshenko conflict. This is a conflict between two totally different world views. The worldview of corrupt politicians in power and those who think that this circle shouldbe broken through. It"s time to make a choice, "- Yuri Derevantov said.
