TBILISI – Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili has called on his supporters to hold a protest against, in his opinion, the rigged presidential election in Freedom Square in Tbilisi on Dec. 2.

“This election has questioned the existence of the Georgian state. We will never recognize the results of the falsified election. The whole world doubted the results of the presidential election in Georgia. Who we are to recognize this election after that,” Saakashvili said in a video link-up from Amsterdam on Nov. 29.
