UNM’s Ana Tsitlidze: Mikheil Saakashvili and I differed on defence strategy from the outset; we have argued many times, and I am doing what I believe is right

“Mikheil Saakashvili and I held differing views from the very beginning regarding our defence strategy at the Constitutional Court, so his statement came as no surprise to me,” United National Movement member Ana Tsitlidze has said.

According to Tsitlidze, she is pursuing the legal defence strategy she considers right for the party.

“We had differing positions on the defence strategy from the outset, so it did not come as a surprise to me. I am doing what I believe is right. We are following the course we consider right; this is how the party’s defence strategy ought to be conducted. I am well aware of his differing views; we have argued about this many times,” Tsitlidze said.

Earlier, former president Mikheil Saakashvili wrote on social media: “What is wrong with the party representatives in Batumi? If you cannot defend yourselves with smarter arguments, stop taking part in this dictatorship’s game and go home.”
