Opposition of Georgia: Saakashvili is a Drug Addict


Former State Minister of Georgia Georgy Khaindrava argues that “the Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili is a drug addict.” He also said that he is talking about it with full responsibility, and even willing to go with the president to a laboratory to give a blood sample to test it for drugs.

The ex-minister, the current leader of the opposition movement Defend Georgia, avowed himself to have used the drugs, but has given up long ago. Now, he says, “the country is headed by a man who can not think straight and is capable of all”.

The leader of the Georgian Green Party Giorgi Gachechiladze said that drug transit through the Republic from Afghanistan to Europe, would have been impossible without the involvement of corrupt officials and lobbyists in the government of the country. According to his data, annually about seven tons of heroin comes to Europe from the sea ports of Georgia, mostly from the port of Poti.

Dmitry Medvedev has long ago set a diagnosis to the Georgian president: Saakashvili “uses drugs”.

In September 2008, one month after the war in the Caucasus, Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev at a meeting with participants of the Valdai international club accused Saakashvili of using drugs too.

“There is a man heading the state there... totally unpredictable, a man, weighed down by a mass of pathologies, unfortunately, being in the unbalanced mental state, excuse me, but using drugs, which is well known to Western journalists, who interviewed him not long ago. A two-hour interview for the head of state being highly intoxicated from drugs is somewhat too much, really too much,” said the President of Russia.

Then the Georgian journalists commented that because of the unsuccessful military operation their president is nervous and takes a lot of sedation. Saakashvili himself said that he knows that it is called “crazy”, “mad”, “demoniac”. He said: “I may be a little emotional person, but I do not know why one has such an impression".
