Parliament's amnesty bill is directed against the state and security of Georgia - Saakashvili

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili believes that the fact of the Georgian parliament overriding presidential veto on amnesty bill is directed against the state and the country's security, Trend reports.

"This decision is directed against the state and security of Georgia," Georgian President addressed the nation.

Saakashvili protested against granting pardon to pedophiles and those who were convicted for espionage in favor of Russia.

"It boggles the mind, when occupied country frees the occupant spies; and now as 3,000 criminals are granted pardon, how can we talk about security of the state, how can we talk about security in Georgia, that was on top of the list of Europe's most secured states?" he stressed.
