Ex-leader Saakashvili: Unity is what matters

Out of his hospital room, Mikheil Saakashvili has addressed his supporters gathered outside the Gori Military Hospital to wish him a happy birthday.

''Ivanishvili and his entourage will never beat us. We know what we are doing... Friends, unity is what matters and fighting till the end. Do not be scared of repressions. I am not scared. I am fighting. Let us free the country from dictatorship. I trust you. We must be united; we must be persistent, and we will enter Europe as a leading country,'' Mikheil Saakashvili said.
