YEREVAN, OCTOBER 1, ARMENPRESS. Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili has been arrested and remanded, ARMENPRESS reports, citing ‘’Ria Novosti’’, Georgian PM Irakli Garibashvili said.

"Our law enforcement agencies had preliminary information about his movement from Ukraine to Georgia," Garibashvili said, without specifying where the former president was caught.

Garibashvili noted that the law enforcement agencies ‘’carried out the operation at a high level’’. According to Georgian media, Saakashvili has been taken to one of the prisons of Tbilisi.

Before being arrested, the former president had made a post on his Facebook page, predicting his arrest. “Most likely, I will be arrested soon in Tbilisi, but I want to say that you should not be afraid of anything, go to the elections tomorrow. Give your vote, and On October 3 we will all celebrate the victory. I have come to help you, we had no alternative. I'm not afraid of anything, I urge you not to be afraid either’’, Saakashvili had said before being arrested.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
