The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine sued Mikhail Saakashvili

The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov sued the head of the Odessa regional state administration Mikhail Saakashvili, correspondent.net reports. Avakov said about the initiation of the trial on the air of the TOK show "The right to power."

"I sued Mr. Saakashvili, because if you say that a person is a thief, - answer," said Avakov.

He also added that, according to his information, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk is going to sue. To the clarifying question of whether Saakashvili filed a lawsuit against him, Avakov replied that he was not known.

Recall that this week Avakov and Saakashvili published on the Internet video recording of skirmishes between them at a government meeting.

The scandal began with Avakov's objections to Saakashvili's performance dedicated to corruption.

Avakov noticed that Saakashvili protruded softer than on the Odessa anti -corruption forum. He recalled Saakashvili’s statement that the Cabinet supposedly “heads corruption”, and expressed the opinion that such statements were unproven. In response, Saakashvili said that they are "very evidently." Avakov asked not to interrupt him, he turned to the president of the country for help, and then mimicked the governor: "Be-Ba-Ba."

"So no one has talked to me yet!" - Saakashvili was indignant. “I will talk to you like that,” Avakov promised. "I don't give a damn!" - retorted Saakashvili. "Well then, get out of here!" - suggested Avakov. In response, the governor of the Odessa region called the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to politeness and again accused of theft. Avakov swore obscenely.

President Petro Poroshenko managed to reassure the opponents, after which Avakov raised the issue of privatization of the Odessa port plant (OPZ). According to Avakov, the factory is interested in the head of the Russian company Uralhim Dmitry Mazepin, related to Saakashvili.

Saakashvili said: "After your words, I will not discuss anything with you anymore." He promised to prove that Avakov is a thief and "Cabinet leads corruption." Then Avakov threw a glass of water to Saakashvili and began to insult the governor, urging him to leave the country. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk joined the skirmish. The prime minister called the head of the Odessa Regional State Administration "Bastroler" and also demanded "get out of Ukraine." In response to these statements, Saakashvili said that he was the same citizen, "just did not rob Ukraine."
