Kobakhidze on Saakashvili's Statement: Saakashvili Lost 2008 War in 2 Days

Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze responded to a statement by the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili. Saakashvili claims that "in 2008 Russia was catastrophically defeated".

According to Kobakhidze, what happened in 2008 is well known, and Saakashvili lost the war in 2 days, although Georgian military personnel and soldiers fought heroically.

"We can thank Mr. Saakashvili for this status. It is his and this collective political force's face, presenting everything upside down, presenting a lost war as a won one. You know very well what happened in 2008: Saakashvili lost this war in 2 days, although our military and our soldiers fought heroically. Imagine, civilians were directing military operations at that time, such an insult was inflicted on the Georgian army at that time, so it is not surprising that Mikheil Saakashvili lost the war he himself started in two days. Of course, such statements show everything very clearly, they show how much the policy and statements of this collective political force are built on falsehood from beginning to end," Kobakhidze said.
