According to the President of Georgia, Salome Zourabishvili, she will pardon Lazare Grigoriadis. As President Zourabishvili mentioned, she made the decision herself today, at 10:00 a.m., and did not wait for any call.

"I will tell you that I made the decision to pardon Lazare Grigoriadis this morning at 10 o'clock. I didn't wait for anyone to call, so no one can earn any points. I felt in my conscience that it was wrong to sentence this young man to nine years. I haven't signed it yet, the procedures are ahead, but I made the decision together with myself, without any expressed opinion," - President Zourabishvili stated.
