“I am not Armenian, even my mother was surprised that no one speaks about not my being of Armenian-origin”, said Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili in his interview to “Special report” program, “News.am” reported.
According to him, one of the Armenian TV channels wanted to take an interview from him: “They told me they knew about my Armenian ancestry, adding they were afraid I would have complexes in that regard. I replied to them: ‘It would be a great honor for me to be Armenian, but the only problem is that I am not Armenian,’” Saakashvili noted.
“There was another television program during which a Soviet-era remnant stood up and said Saakashvili is Armenian. My mother called me and said: ‘Why didn’t anyone there say that you are not Armenian? We are a blend of all ethnic groups, a country with a great civilization,’” Georgia’s President underscored,”
