“We had a military front almost all the years of my reign. It is a big mistake to think that we only had a war in 2008. It’s just that in 2008 the whole world saw that we were attacked by 110 thousand Russian soldiers, and that we were bombed by clouds of planes. 60% of the country's territory was occupied. 20% is still occupied. But it was just an episode.
Almost all the years of my reign, Russia bombed us. Either she bombed us in the Pankisi Gorge, then in the Kodori Gorge, then near Gori. We had a large number of terrorist attacks organized by Russian intelligence services. We had a complete trade embargo. And our people were thrown out of Russia in large numbers. Georgian citizens were deported just to make it seem too little. Every year and every month we had problems,” Saakashvili said.
