Mikheil Saakashvili bombed a peaceful population," - Bidzina Ivanishvili made this statement in response to the question of the possible use of Salome Zurabishvili"s quotations at the Hague Criminal Court by the Kremlin. The former Prime Minister avoided direct response to the question and reiterated that he shares Zurabishvili"s opinions on the start of the August war.

"Saakashvili bombed his own population, not Georgia, but what happened in 2008, how the government under Saakashvili"s leadership was behaving, was a betrayal of the country and homeland. He could prevent the war , he could not let Russia"s centuries-old dream to come true. My interpretation absolutely coincides with Salome Zurabishvili"s interpretation... It was Saakashvili and your spouse if you like (to Eka Kvesitadze),who lead the Russian troops to Georgia , "- says Bidzina Ivanishvili.
