A Georgian former defense minister convicted of extortion in his home country has been granted asylum in France, his lawyer has said.
Irakli Okruashvili, a prominent critic of the Georgian president, insists the charges were politically motivated. His lawyer said France had been "receptive" to his appeal for political asylum in the country. Okruashvili, dismissed from office in 2006, was sentenced in absentia in Georgia to 11 years in prison in March.
Let me see, Georgia is a candidate country for the NATO? So we had FYROM and Georgia two ...democracies for a militarist union, somehow you feel grateful there is the veto!
