Tbilisi. September 25 (Prime-News) – Irakli Okruashvili, former Minister of Defense of Georgia and the leader of “Movement for Unified Georgia”, stated that Mikheil Saakashvili, President of Georgia, saw his main rival in the church and he launched his struggle against the Orthodox Church with collecting incriminating evidences on clergy.
Irakli Okruashvili declared in Tbilisi-based Imedi TV's late-night talk-show, "On the Air" on Tuesday that President of Georgia issued the order about the destruction of the church in Adjara on the basis of the aforementioned "rivalry".
According to his statement, Giga Bokeria, one of the members of the ruling majority, had taken the above-mentioned decision.
