what do the people of georgia get from saakashvili as president. people became smart they know that saakashvili has to go and police people canes patients but nothing substantial who could roods i'm fine since we both like a small child people of this country just the way he wants to go he never had any clear should you like other presidents to for every day and hour of their lives he would wake up whenever he wanted to for instance and his closest circle like i were exactly the same he watched his superior saakashvili got caught and copied his behavior. ok how long have you been working in the prison system when did you first notice the things were getting worse. since two thousand and one so for a live in years i started noticing things were getting worse in two thousand and five since acholi is appointments so then we had criminal lords in the country but crime and torture weren't so obvious a no a polite get strong walks into a prison cell ice and pizza whoever he wants whichever way he wants the lemon bread he would be the cause it thank you v
