Sozar Subari, Minister of Corrections and Legal Assistance of Georgia, contradicted statements of Mikheil Saakashvili, Georgian President, concerning release of Vahagn Chakhalyan, and accused Head of State in lying. As reports Armenpress, referring to “aspny.ge” web site, Subari has declared that Chakhalyan was released in accordance with amnesty decree and he took the punishment for not serious crime.

“Those articles contain illegal weapons, violation of public order and act of hooliganism. Amnesty relates to all this articles,”Subari noted.

Minister of Corrections and Legal Assistance of Georgia also wondered why Chakhalyan wasn’t arrested in charges of serious crime, if he, according to Saakashvili, had attacked policemen, robbed church and attacked in the court.

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili accused Prime Minister of Georgia and Georgian Parliament in releasing Armenian Vahagn Chakhalyan, “enemy of Georgian statehood”.

He has underlined Chakhalyan doesn’t work for Armenia. “This is not about ethnic origins. We have Armenians who faithfully serve to our country. Ivanishvili has to understand that releasing a criminal on the request of Catholicos of all Armenians Karekin II is not just a mistake, it’s a crime against our statehood,” Saakashvili said.
