President of a mockery of: New York Times humiliated Saakashvili in his article about his life in Brooklyn

[DARPA]

American journalist Jason Horowitz from NYT told about the life of ex-President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili, the Georgian fugitive from justice in Brooklyn.
At Smorgasburg food fair in Brooklyn, among unshaven, tattooed men, Mikhail Saakashvili emit poisonous green sneakers and trendy sunglasses. Former Georgian President stood in the queue for local food and ordering coconut cocktail, went to be with us from the swarms of hungry Americans.
"My friend, one of the largest sheiks of the United Arab Emirates, Georgia gave 20 thousand trees" - Saakashvili said, dropping the straw in half a coconut filled with water. After making a few sips, the former president added: "As a personal gift."
Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili is now in a "voluntary exile" on Seventh Street. He was forced to leave Georgia, and its sharp drop provides a good warning to many American officials, who tried to make it a successful example of the "export of democracy" in the former Soviet Union.
After leaving the presidency in November last year, pet George W. Bush - whose confrontation with Russian President Vladimir Putin has led to a catastrophic war in 2008 - moved to his uncle's apartment on the waterfront of Williamsburg in New York and began to burn mysteriously emerged condition.
We can say that now ex-president of Georgia should be grateful to President Putin for "lifeline" because back in the wake of the Ukrainian crisis to something some political relevance.
"It's the end of Putin's" - he says, referring to the Russian aggression in the Ukraine, and calls the actions of the Russian president is very similar to the ones that were in Georgia.
Now Saakashvili much more talkative than when he was the president of Georgia - claims that political opponents, imposing his reputation as a reckless leader, forgot about his achievements. He considers himself a "leader of the peaceful Rose Revolution", a supporter of reform and a supporter of the rule of law, rather than "a man provoked Putin" in a war that led to the death, escape and impoverishment of thousands of Georgians. "The events of the day have to be rethought," - he said.
Saakashvili claims that, despite its "life of an ordinary man" in Brooklyn, he still respected in Eastern Europe. He tells how during a recent trip to Albania, the country's authorities have released the track for his motorcade.
However, Saakashvili's personal project on his own rehabilitation is complicated by the decline of his popularity at home and the charges brought against him by the Georgian prosecutors. In Georgia, the former president is accused of human rights violations and embezzlement of public funds. He brushes off the accusations, calling Georgian prosecutors "politically motivated puppets" of his arch-enemy, the current president of Georgia - oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili
Now Saakashvili busy writing his memoirs, speaks with a "very well paid" speeches and assists the Washington think tank, often visiting old friends - Senator John McCain and Assistant Secretary - Victoria Nuland. On the roof of his house with a stunning view of the Manhattan skyline, he entertains the former CIA director David Petraeus, and is waiting for you, Nicolas Sarkozy, the former president of France, who is going to come to Saakashvili at the end of the month.
"Williamsburg (one of the areas of Brooklyn) is part of the democratic transition" - Saakashvili said.
Saakashvili is trying to look at everything through the prism of "democracy-building". For example, he refers to a trendy local «Cafe Mogador» his favorite cafe because it was "very democratic."
And at the same time, the ex-president of Georgia complains about the high cost of living in Williamsburg. "I'm not poor, but the prices are really bite" - he says.
While Mr Saakashvili has not yet become in this area truly his. For example, it recently was not allowed in the hotel Wythe, where he came together with friends. Protection could not identify it. "But that's okay," - says he Georgians.
Secret Service immediately dubbed Saakashvali "Energetic bear» (Energizer Bunny).
The ex-president likes to visit the flea market, where admiring paintings by unknown artists, once acquired here sunglasses Prada. Also, at the flea market, he bought fifty old books, and sent them to "own presidential library."
By the way, in this market, according to Saakashvili, a few months ago have seen most of Leonardo DiCaprio. Moments later, after these words, Saakashvili came Georgians living in Manhattan, Lali Lobjanidze and asked, "You Mikhail Saakashvili?".
"This is my" moment DiCaprio "!" - Delighted he replied.
Other Georgians from the New York diaspora often criticized ex-president.
"It creates a crack in the diaspora" - says Vakhtang Gomelauri critic of Saakashvili, who organized the 2012 protest against him at the United Nations after the scandal associated with the supernatant of information on violence in Georgian prisons.
During his studies at Columbia University, Saakashvili lived in "Astoria" with his Dutch wife, Sandra Roelofs, who worked in a pizzeria before finding a job in Manhattan, one of the law firms.
Today, Mrs. Roelofs lives in Tbilisi, along with their youngest son. The eldest son of Saakashvili, Eduard, who once broke the world record for speed typing on the Ipad, student at Swarthmore College (Swarthmore College) in Pennsylvania.
In the United States, Saakashvili expects the resumption of the work as a "visiting professor" at Tufts University. But the university said that the contract with Saakashvili terminated in May. Lincoln Mitchell, an associate professor at Columbia University, believes that the work of Saakashvili in the law school will be a problem. "What if it will be an international tribunal to judge?". In addition, Mitchell adds: "And there is concern about his personal conduct."
In August, the Georgian Prosecutor's Office accused Saakashvili of embezzling public funds: the money went on the trip, hotel rooms, personal stylist, Botox injections, cosmetic hair removal services, rent a yacht in Italy and work in London artist Meredith Ostrom. He was also accused of the violent crackdown on demonstrations in Georgia in 2007. If Saakashvili really found guilty - he could face up to 11 years in prison.
The ex-president said that the charges against him are groundless and are part of the "Georgian witch hunt." "You can not find a single politician has been in power for nine years in any post-Soviet country, and was accused of corruption and illicit enrichment", - he said.
When he's not busy with lectures or stay with friends, Saakashvili loves to ride a bike. "You want my picture on the bike?" - He said during a pause in our conversation.
"You know, that is the territory of the Hasidim?" - He said, sitting on the bike and slowly drove past the next Brooklyn cafe. "Look, they go to these their big hats!".
