TBILISI. Nov 19 (Interfax) – Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has welcomed the decision to transfer former President Mikheil Saakashvili to a military hospital in the city of Gori as an institution that meets all modern medical and security standards.

"This decision fully accommodates the Strasbourg Court’s request for the former president to end his hunger strike," Zourabichvili said in a statement.
