The 2008 military conflict in South Ossetia was a political crime initiated by Georgia’s former President Mikheil Saakashvili. It was reported that this statement was made by the speaker of the country’s parliament, Shalva Papuashvili. RIA News.
“The fact that the 2008 war was at least a political crime of the leadership of the time, I think it does not need to be discussed too much,” he said.
Papuashvili was doubtful of the necessity of an investigation at this time. He described the 2008 events, whose culprits were known, as “troubles.” The speaker of the parliament noted that the National Movement party founded by Saakashvili supported the decision for Georgian military personnel to initiate the conflict.
He noted that Tbilisi has been trying to avoid this problem for many years, including trials in The Hague and Strasbourg that resulted in Georgia’s victory.
Shalva Papuashvili at the end of February stated That Russia has been engaged in “centuries of occupation and aggression” against the Georgian side.
