Mikheil Saakashvili writes on his Facebook page about the 16th anniversary of Russia-Georgia 2008 war.

“In 2008, our army stood strong, people took to the streets, I stayed in Tbilisi and put the world on our feet, our partners came to Tbilisi and the Americans sent the fleet to save Georgia’s statehood.

I am being held captive only because I did not surrender Georgia to the enemy. Then the enemy could not capture us, and it is a tragedy that what we defended with our strength, now we have to gain again.

On October 26, we have to restore Georgia’s independence and freedom once again after 1991”, - writes the third president of Georgia.
