Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili compared former President
Mikheil Saakashvili with Anders Breivik, who was convicted of
terrorist attacks in Norway. This is how Garibashvili commented on
Saakashvili's award named after Sjur Lindebrekke, one of the founders
of the conservative party in Norway.Irakli Garibashvili stated that
awarding the award to Mikheil Saakashvili is a mockery of the Georgian
people. The Prime Minister of Georgia called Saakashvili's rule a
"murder regime".“This is about the same as if the award was given to
Breivik, who killed a lot of people. Saakashvili killed hundreds of
young people,” Garibashvili said.Asked by a journalist if the prime
minister has proof of what he said, and why no criminal cases were
initiated against Saakashvili on the facts of the murders,
Garibashvili noted that the ex-president was convicted in the case of
the death of Sandro Girgvliani.The imprisoned third president of
Georgia was awarded the prize for promoting human rights, political
and economic freedoms and democratic institutions.
