Former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili writes on Facebook that he is returning to Georgia. He says he has a better understanding of how to serve the country better over the years, and apologizes for the mistakes he has made.

“Ukraine is my second home. I have always loved Ukraine since I was a student, in the most difficult period it was Ukraine that accepted me as I am, without any conditions and requirements and I appreciate it very much.

Now, after all these years, I know how to better serve our country, how to avoid mistakes. There were mistakes, but God is a witness, I wanted the best for my people. I wanted my people to live better. From the perspective of these years, I want to publicly apologize to everyone for the mistakes I made.

At the same time, I am extremely grateful to the Georgian people, who got me involved in the successful historical process of building a Georgian state. During these seven years there has not been a single day that I have not been interested in Georgian news and I know for sure that my work as President has not been in vain. When I listen to Georgian news, I know for sure that we can live better, and every Georgian can be rich, we can do this together! I am returning!”, - writes Saakashvili.
