Giuli Alasania Says Mikheil Saakashvili's Return to Georgia was Kremlin's Order
Mikheil Saakashvili's mother Giuli Alasania responded to Saakashvili's interview with Spiegel where the former president of Georgia said that there is a possibility that some people who planned to get him back in October 2021 were agents sent by Russia.
According to Alasania, there is speculation in society as to who is meant by the statement.
"No Georgian is meant there, in any way. This is talking about Ukraine, this is a very common term, very popular in Russia is IPsO, which means informational psychological special operation.
You know what it was in the case of my son, they went to different places where they could see him, an airport or a cafe or some street, they went and assured that his arrival is urgent and it should happen before October without fail.
Why? Because this very operation was being prepared in Ukraine, and at that time he should not have been by Zelensky's side. That was the order. And this order was achieved, the Kremlin achieved it. And they have him locked up here now, how long has it been, a year and four months? In fact, they are killing him. The Kremlin is doing this, this is a special operation of the Kremlin, which, unfortunately, is being done by the hands of the Georgian government," said Giuli Alasania.
