The third president of Georgia and former governor of Odessa Mikheil Saakashvili has refused to enter the State Security Service for interrogation. As Mikheil Saakashvili explained to journalists, a summons envisages two procedural investigative actions - interrogation and obtaining samples for examination, which is a violation of law.

The leader of the "New Forces Movement" addressed the Security Service with a request to send a different summons for the two investigative acts. Saakashvili has already delivered the request to the Chancellery with his lawyers.

Saakashvili says that the Security Service wants to take a sample of his voice along with interrogation, which will be attached to the case as an evidence. Saakashvili expresses readiness to give voice sample if he receives a new summons in accordance with the law .
