Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili wants to question President Mikheil Saakashvili over the country’s five-day war with Russia in 2008, a probe that may lead to legal proceedings against Saakashvili.
The president and the government “acted inadequately” and the Georgian army acted before Russian forces crossed the border during the conflict over the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Ivanishvili, who defeated Saakashvili’s party in October parliamentary elections, said at a news conference in the capital, Tbilisi, today.
