Putin: Avakov and Saakashvili play a tragicomedy

''The public conflict between Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arseniy Avakov and Odessa Governor Mikheil Saakashvili is a tragicomedy,'' Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a documentary broadcast on the Russia-1 TV channel.

"The fact that they swear in Russian is a good thing. At least not in Georgian, or Ossetian. It is a funny situation, it is like a tragicomedy,’’ Putin said.
