Me, Tamaz Vashakidze,
DECLARE OFICIALLY
before the Lord, people and my family
That all accusations brought against me by the Georgian authorities are unfounded! Belied and humiliated, I’ve been deprived for 7 seven years of opportunity to pursue my professional activities, to secure a decent life for my family, to live freely on the land of my ancestors.
I state that there is no single authentic document that could form a ground for offences I was accused of! But I have at my disposal all the papers that prove the lack of any illegal acts in my activities as director of the Tbilisi Ballet Art State School named after V. Chabukiani. That was exactly the case faked-up by investigation bodies in order to discredit me, which started up my harassment by Saakashvili regime.
I am sure that these papers will serve as a ground for objective review of my case at the Supreme Court. Truth will triumph!
